Hoomaluhia is Oahu’s largest botanical garden. Situated on lush 400 acres (1.6 km²) in Kaneohe, at the foot of the majestic Ko’olau Mountain Range. This is a peaceful park that is home to hundreds of plant species, divided into geographical regions as diverse as the Philippines, Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Tropical America, Polynesia, Melanesia and Hawaii. The garden was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide flood protection for Kaneohe, and the facilities now include a day use area, campground and a center with a lecture room, exhibition hall, workshop and botanical library.  (sunset is not visible from this location)
