Wahi'awa Botanical Garden, or "Place of Noise", is cradled between the Wai'anae and Ko'olau mountain ranges in central O'ahu. This garden is known as the "tropical jewel" of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens. This 27-acre garden and forested raven dates back to the 1920's when the land was used by sugar planters as an experimental arboretum.

Touring this garden you will walk among plants that thrive in the cooler, shady, humid environment of this tropical rainforest. This garden is especially noted for its Hawaiian palms, aroid garden, tree ferns, epiphytic and native plants.
