  • Must see!! We drove and walked the gardens. It’s a must do. You can pull over and take pictures. No hurry. Spend as much as you want.

  • Insanely beautiful place! We took a map of the botanical garden to the visitor center just in case, everything is marked on the map and everything is clear. You can travel by car or on foot, whichever is more convenient for you. As I understand it, there are 5-6 viewing points in the form of a park against the backdrop of beautiful green mountains, I liked it at 1, 2 and at the last point. We were there on a Wednesday so there weren't many people there. At the last point there is a covered seating area, I saw a sink there, you can have a barbecue with a gorgeous view! There is parking at every point. I also saw hungry fish and ducks in the lake, it’s a pity that I didn’t have anything to eat with me.
  • Absolutely breathtaking! A must stop if you’re in Oahu. The path to the lake is barely a hike but feels very secluded and peaceful. People were very respectful of their surroundings and the of the peace. The drive up to the parking lot was amazing. It’s also completely free. There’s no reason to not stop by if in the area.
