Lyon Arboretum

Enjoy it while visiting Honolulu - Oahu in Hawaii

Lyon Arboretum

The Lyon Arboretum, situated in the upper part of Manoa Valley, is a beautiful 200-acre arboretum and botanical garden. It is overseen by the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. This wonderful green space, located about 5 miles north of Waikiki, is home to over 6,000 plants. If you enjoy hiking, you’ll be delighted to explore the arboretum’s extensive network of trails spanning over 7 miles.

Be sure to wear shoes with strong soles when visiting the arboretum, as there are many rocky paths. However, despite being located near downtown Honolulu, visitors have described the gardens as a completely different world. Many people have enjoyed the beauty of the arboretum.
