 are located on the
Big Island of Hawaii, Northwest of Hilo. Experience over 300 acres of natural beauty at World Botanical Gardens, where you can walk slowly along paved walkways seeing, smelling, touching--sometimes even tasting--exotic plant species from around the world; take a short drive to our overlook parking area more than 100 feet above the river and take in the breathtaking view of the widely acclaimed triple-tiered Umauma Falls; or take a leisurely stroll along a cascading brook on a shady, wide, paved walkway beneath towering forest trees draped with the pendulous stems and roots of tropical vines on our Rainforest walk. Open daily.
We offer Self-Guided Tours at any time during operating hours. Guided Tours that last approximately two hours and include lunch are conducted by our garden director and horticulture expert, Dr. Lanny Neel For more information on Guided Tours click here.
