Custom Hawaii Gardens Tour
Visit the beautiful botanical gardens of Oahu and enjoy the tropical splendor of the islands on Hina Adventures’ Hawaii Gardens tours. Tours take you to the hidden green jewels of Oahu and explore some of the most scenic areas on the island while teaching about the extraordinary evolution of Hawaiian plants and their colorful legends and cultural uses.
Hawaii is home to a spectacular array of endemic species found nowhere else in the world. Native Hawaiian plants are highly endangered and difficult to find in modern city settings, so Hina takes you off-the-beaten path to visit cultural restoration gardens and nurseries to see rare Hawaiian flowers and species nearly extinct in the wild. Stops also include visits to scenic parks and archaeological sites to view the Polynesian “canoe” plants, brought by the ancient Hawaiians to their new island home.
For those who want to see it all, Oahu also offers beautiful botanical gardens of tropical exotics from around the world. Stroll among some of the most extraordinary trees and flowers on the planet, including an alluring display of orchids and the descendent of Buddha’s tree of enlightenment.
All custom Hawaii Gardens tours are designed for individual travelers or small groups at affordable rates. You may choose from the tour itineraries below OR request your own specialized itinerary.
