Garden of Eden

Garden of Eden MauiWhy have we skipped this so many times?

Seriously, we've been to Hana dozens of times, and we've always driven right past the Garden of Eden Arboretum and Botanical Garden. In building this website and videos, we decided to check it out. WOW! This place is amazing. It's a must-see in our book.

The grounds are immaculately maintained with great ocean views, all kinds of photo opportunities, an art gallery, visitor center, and views of inaccessible waterfalls. This is the kind of place I'd like to be wheeled out to on my deathbed. True serenity.


Garden of Eden Views


But a guided tour is the best way to experience the Garden of Eden. Skip the garden’s entrance line and let one of Humble Tours’ knowledgeable guides lead the way. While other visitors get lost on the property’s maze-like grounds, you’ll be given a guided tour of the garden, illuminating East Maui’s incredible biodiversity and unique ecology. Top off the day with a tasty lunch while savoring incredible views from one of the garden’s stunning lookouts.





Waterfall and Mango TreeWhat do you see?

Some of the highlights include:

  • 100 Year Old Mango Tree
  • Local Art Gallery
  • Duck Pond and Bird Feeding area
  • Keopuka Rock Overlook (as seen in Jurassic Park opening)
  • Enchanted Forest
  • Banana Patch
  • Anthorium Garden
  • Upper Puohokamoa Waterfalls (restricted access, so your only way of viewing the falls legally is from here)


Keopuka RockWhat does the admission cost go towards?

It goes towards the constant maintenance of the grounds and trails. They receive no public funding and they appreciate any additional assistance via garden benefactors. Skip the admission fee when you book a Garden of Eden Tour.

Below, we've scanned the map they give out. On it, you'll see just how large the area is and just how much they offer there. it's worth the trip, but prepare to kill at least an hour there.

We recognize the use of diacritical markings of the (modern) Hawaiian language including the ʻokina [ʻ] or glottal stop and the kahakō [ō] or macron (e.g., in place names of Hawaiʻi such as Lānaʻi). However, you may notice these diacritical markings have been omitted on some parts of this website to ensure the best online experience for our visitors. We recognizes the importance of using these markings to preserve the language and culture of Hawaii and respectfully uses them in all communications beyond the online platform.
