Botanical World Adventures in Hakalau

Botanical World Adventures sits in Hakalau on the Hamakua Coast, about 20 minutes north of Hilo. The property combines tropical gardens, rainforest trails, waterfalls, a hedge maze and adventure activities in one Big Island stop.

Visitors can choose a relaxed garden visit or add more active experiences. As a result, Botanical World Adventures works for travelers who want scenery, plants, waterfalls and outdoor fun without planning several separate stops.

Gardens, Maze, Rainforest Trails and Waterfalls

The self-guided garden pass lets visitors explore the gardens at their own pace. Official information highlights the Garden Hedge Maze, Rainforest Trail, streams, waterfalls and lower groomed garden areas.

Along the way, visitors may see tropical foliage, breadfruit, palms, flowers, fruit trees and rainforest scenery. In addition, the trail setting gives the property a wilder feel than a formal display garden.

Zipline, Suspension Bridge and Adventure Options

Botanical World Adventures also offers zipline tours through the rainforest canopy. Official zipline information describes eight ziplines, a suspension bridge and views of Kamaee Falls.

The zipline experience is listed as up to 2.5 hours and open to ages 4 and over, with weight and safety rules. However, tour details can change, so visitors should check current requirements before booking.
