4/5
The dense jungle at the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum is so lush it "makes cambodia look like Kansas." Jessy Ventura's character in Predator could have easily been referring to this expansive Oahu area when he made that comment, since it too is home to tightly packed vegetation taking advantage of the rainfall to occupy every square inch of ground here. Thankfully, you won't find rebels and intergalactic alien game hunters here. Instead you and yours are invited to tour a scientifically maintained and studied area that is home to one of the most complete collections of Hawaiian native plant life in the islands. Visitors with a love of the environment will find the unabridged thriving condition of the plant life here to be an absolutely rewarding sight to see. It's places like this that show us all that in spite of humans' environmental impact on Mother Earth, she is still capable of creating reassuring displays of life.

    Arriving at this botanical garden is purely passing by. Although the weather is not too good, it is only a short stop, but it is still very impressive for the beautiful scenery here. The trees are shaded and the birds are fragrant, very beautiful.

    When I went to visit the University of Hawaii, I accidentally saw a botanical garden. The botanical garden is large in size and the climate is humid, especially suitable for plant growth, so the plants in the botanical garden are growing and I see many trees that I don't know.

    This botanical garden is not very impressive, in the garden, whether it is the tall golden banyan tree, or the shellfish tree never seen, it is like entering a tropical botanical garden. Of course, there are also Malay mist, cherries and lychees to be picked, and everyone spent a happy afternoon.

    Beautiful place to explore with beginner hiking and great greenery. Nice and quiet to stroll by yourself or with a friend.

    Beautiful spot with free parking if you're looking to catch some nature. If you decide on hiking the trails, cover yourself; there are a LOT of mosquitos. Insect repellant can be purchased in the gift shop.
