Hawaii Tropical
Botanical Garden
 The
splendid Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is located just 7 miles
north of Hilo on the fertile Hamakua Coast. The Garden's
trails wind through a variety of environments offering a diverse
view of more than 2,000 different plant species, waterfalls,
 back-dropped
against the natural beauty of the coast. This is your chance
to see rare views of Onomea Bay. You will see a richly diverse
variety of plants and blooming flowers, orchids, ferns, palms, and
many more.
 Enjoy
the self-guided tour as the trail weaves itself in the tropical
rainforest. Walking the trails will take approximately two
hours - but you may end up spending more time here as you enjoy the
serenity and partake in photography. The Garden is open daily
9:00AM to 5:00PM.
 We
thoroughly enjoyed walking through the garden. There was such
a natural and fertile feeling to the place - and the smells were
incredibly fresh and fragrant. This garden showcases the
dramatic beauty of the Hamakua Coast and is a must-see
 attraction.
This is a photographer and nature lover's paradise!
Directions:
Follow route 19 until just north of Hilo, follow the blue highway
signs on the
 coastal side of the road saying "Scenic Route".
