Ke'anae Arboretum

Keanae MauiKe'anae Arboretum

There are often so many beautiful sites along the Road to Hana that people don't know which to choose. If you're looking for a relaxing spot to get out, stretch your legs and learn something new, you'll enjoy the Keanae Arboretum, a botanical garden located about .8 miles past the 16 mile marker. Offering free entrance every day of the week, the arboretum sits along the Pi'inau'au Stream and within a rainforest. Famous for growing taro, bananas, yams, and other crops much like their Hawaiian ancestors, the people of Keanae have a rich and diverse history.

 

Keanae ArboretumA paved walkway provides visitors with a half mile walk through 150 varieties of tropical plants from around the world, including different types of taro, gingers, hibiscus, papaya, and a mix of native and non-native Hawaiian trees. Most of the trees and flowers are labeled for your convenience, but be sure to check out the rainbow eucalyptus trees up close for a great photo opportunity.

 

There are many beautiful trails to choose from, whether you're looking for a short or long walk, just remember to bring your mosquito repellant and do not pick any plant or flower. Enjoy!

 

Keanae Peninsula

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.
