Lyon Arboretum reviews
28I go here at least once a year. Lyon Arboretum conducts two plant sales a year with "partners" from around the island. It's a great chance to see the Arboretum and get new plants. Expert plant lovers are there to answer questions and give helpful advice. Shuttle service is provided on these occasions to more efficiently get visitors to the Arboretum. Some chose to walk. The parking lot is closed on these two events. It is a beautiful place to visit.
Very well taken care of. There's a main path that will lead you straight to a waterfall or you can take one of the many smaller paths. The hike was about 25 minutes to the waterfall.
Beautiful lush nature and wonderful flowers. Much nicer hike than the Manoa Falls, that is often too crowded
What a blessing to find this place. Even in the light rain the beauty and serinity of this place is wonderful.
Wonderful hike! Bring mosquito spray or use the ones they provide in the visitor center. Great bookstore. Beautiful and marked out, photo friendly place
A beautiful arboretum filled with native and introduced trees. Although not all labelled, there are many different sections dedicated to certain types of plants and their uses. It's really huge and there are many winding paths, so make sure to have a tour guide or a map to make it through. Some paths are muddy and it often rains, so it's a good idea to bring rain boots and an umbrella just in case!
Great place to get away for a bit and soak up the raw beauty of this island away from the beaches and shopping, nice way to get a deeper connection with nature and yourself. Highly recommend seeing Manoa Falls after a good rain and be sure to wear proper shoes as some rocks will get slick and dangerous when walking with kids or for the inexperienced.
Definitely a hidden gem on Oahu! Most tourists hike the Manoa Fall which is right next door, however almost never get to go to this Botanical Garden that appertains to Manoa University. This place is perfect! Never crowded, simply beautifully kept, and you will see tons of tropical flowers and trees. Get up early, hike Manoa Falls first when it's not too crowded, then take a short walk to the Arboretum; I bet you will like the later better!
