Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden

The botanical gardens of Ho'omaluhia can be called the Jurassic gardens. This area was in fact a natural set for some scenes in the Spielberg film Jurassic Park. Admission is free, and the vast park can be accessed easily by car, along charming streets that climb the slopes of the mountains. There are several parking spaces so you can get out and walk along different trails. The most striking is the one that leads you to a beautiful pond, surrounded by animals such as ducks, geese, and pigs. The background is formed by majestic volcanic mountains, steep-walled, smooth, and a reminder of the Jurassic environment.
