Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden

In 1984 Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden opened its doors to the world showcasing one man’s vision, the vision that he could truly make a difference in the world. Dan Lutkenhouse believed that if you took care of the land, the land would take care of the planet. He worked very hard to preserve the natural topography of the land and the native artifacts within the garden. Today, 40 years later HTBG is a thriving nonprofit botanical garden, with paved trails that wind through 17 acres touching the ocean, filled with beauty and adventure around every corner. Located in Onomea Bay we are dedicated to tropical plants, education, preservation of the rainforest, and the propagation of endangered flora and fauna species. We are located at 27-717 Old Mamalahoa Hwy on the Big Island of Hawaii and open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, last admission 4:00 PM.
