All of Hawaii’s islands have their hidden gems, places with a beauty and spirit all their own. One of Oahu’s most glorious, relatively little-seen treasures is Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens. A profusion of tropical plants is waiting here to be discovered, and the scenery is spectacular, framed against the magnificent Koolau Mountains.
Located in Kaneohe, on the Windward side of Oahu, it’s an easy drive from Waikiki but feels a world away. The gardens make a great place for a picnic lunch or peaceful amble, and a trip here can easily be combined with a visit to nearby Kailua and Lanikai Beaches. If you’re looking for quality time with nature, you’ll find it here.
