The World Botanical Gardens is the premier destination for nature lovers, featuring more than 5,000 species of native Hawaiian plants and others from around the world. Located on the big island of Hawaii, the World Botanical Gardens includes a triple-tiered, 300-foot waterfall known as Umauma Falls.

The gardens, which opened in 1995, also include a rainforest walk that is one of the most tranquil and peaceful spots on the 300-acre sanctuary.

Paved walkways among the gardens allow visitors to see, smell, touch - and sometimes taste - exotic plant species from around the world. The gardens climb 1.5 miles up the slope of the extinct Mauna Kea volcano to the west.

The colorful Rainbow Walk includes 100 species of bromeliads. Mango trees, guava, papaya, pineapple, banana, breadfruit and other exotic trees create natural barriers and canopies throughout the gardens.

Self-guided tours are offered during operating hours. Guests can also register for guided tours, conducted by the garden director and lasting two hours

151 Kapahulu Ave
Honolulu, HI 96815   Directions Website

The Honolulu Zoo features more than 1,230 animals in a 300-acre setting that comes from royal beginnings. The zoo was established by grants made by the sovereign monarch of King David Kalakaua. In 1877, the land in the area was beautified and opened as Queen Kapiolani Park in honor of Julia Kapiolani, Queen Consort of Hawaii.

Through the early years, the zoo was a relatively small endeavor until 1974, when the Honolulu Zoo accepted a donation of a camel, an elephant, chimpanzees and deer. Facilities were designed and expanded, influenced by what was happening at the San Diego Zoo in California.

In the 1990s, the Honolulu Zoo went through another transformation, where animals were housed in more natural-style habitat settings and open-air enclosures.

Over 750,000 people visit the zoo annually.
