Onomea Falls, Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden

This spectacular three-tiered waterfall is often claimed to be the Most beautiful in Hawaii.
It was discovered far back in the jungle by Dan Lutkenhouse, years after work on the lower Garden began.
One day he decided to hack his way through the jungle alongside the stream, and much to his delight he
found the magnificent waterfall.

Onomea Falls is set amidst the natural forest of palms and ferns. Exotic mosses grow on the surrounding rocks and trees. Small fish and prawns thrive in the clear, cool water. Gazing at Onomea Falls from the viewing bridge, visitors are treated to an experience of unmatched natural beauty. There is a feeling of deep peace and serenity here, as well as a sense of the power and abundance of nature.

Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is a private, non-profit organization. Located in a valley on Onomea Bay, the natural setting of this garden enhances its collections of tropical plants from throughout the world. The special collections include aroids, gingers and heliconias, marantas, orchids, and palms. In addition to the plant and bird collections, the garden trails provide access to waterfalls, streams and scenic coastline.
