Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your journey begins as you board your air-conditioned van for a narrated tour that passes Queen Liliuokani Gardens, the Hilo bay front and the Four-Mile Scenic Route en route to Onomea Bay.

A lush rainforest valley is home to this world-renowned garden, often described as the most beautiful area in Hawaii. Upon arrival at the Hawaii Botanical Tropical Garden, you'll receive a map of the garden trails for a self-guided tour at your leisure. Discover more than 2,000 different species of flowers, fruits and plants, including orchids, palms, bromeliads, heliconias, as well as many rare and endangered plant species. Remember your camera, as the Orchid Garden is a photographer's paradise!

You'll have time to visit the garden's gift shop, which offers a fine array of art glass, ceramics, jewelry and other items handcrafted by local artisans. Tropical flower bouquets can be shipped the day you order. (Check shipping destinations at the gift shop.)

The return trip includes a narrated tour of old Hilo town that passes the King Kamehameha statue.

Special Notes:

Some sections of the paths at the garden may be steep and difficult.

All children under 5 years of age and/or under 40 lbs. in weight must use a child safety seat during the van transfer to the gardens. Passengers must provide the seat.
