Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, Hilo 4K Tour with Relaxing Music. Beautiful flowers, waterfalls, ocean, koi pond. The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in Hawaii. It is a must-see if you are vacationing anywhere near Hilo, Hawaii on the Big Island. Located off the four-mile Pep’ekeo Scenic Drive lies a unique and bountiful not-for-profit botanical garden in the area known as Onomea — Hawaiian for “good feeling”.
This 40-acre valley nestled along the Pacific Ocean is home to a stunning naturally occurring, three-tiered waterfall and more than 2,000 plant species from around the world, including orchids, palms, heliconias and bromeliads. Don’t forget to stop in at the birdhouse to be greeted by the family of macaws living in the rainforest.
Dan and Pauline Lutkenhouse found the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden after purchasing the property in 1977. At that time, the land was an overgrown jungle and Lutkenhouse dedicated himself to preserving the area’s beauty by clearing it out primarily by hand with the help of just a few friends and without the use of motorized machinery. The garden opened to the public in 1984 and was then gifted to a non-profit trust in 1995 to make sure the land would always be a place to preserve the natural beauty held within.
