Ke'anae Arboretum

About

Ke'anae Arboretum is really a lovely botanical garden that is also free and a great place to stretch your legs a bit.

A short walkway leads through a myriad of trees and plants from around the world - including giant bamboo trees, African tulip trees, taro plants, banana, papaya, and breadfruit trees. Each is marked with a nameplate showing the country of origin and plant name. This is, for sure, the best place to go if you want to see the rainbow eucalyptus trees up close and take some pictures. It really looks like the color has been painted on the trees.

Plan on spending around 30 minutes strolling through the gardens here. If everyone is tired and wanting to get back, then this is something you could pass up. 

It is kind of tricky to find the arboretum. The front entrance is not very obvious, and comes quickly around a turn. Look for a small park sign and a green gate. You will need to park across the street and walk in. After you enter the gate, there is a nice 20 min stroll along a paved road before you come to the actual arboretum. Take as long as you want, and then turn around the way you came to exit the arboretum. Admission is free.
