Travel with us to the
enchanting, lush rainforest located deep within the beautiful Valley of the
Rainbows. Here, nestled below towering jungle trees and surrounded by seven
waterfalls, one of the world’s premier Botanical gardens, Lyon Arboretum
awaits you. Oahu Nature Tours provides exclusive, small group, guided tours to
this exotic rainforest paradise.
5,000 species of plants bathe
in the, fragrant mists produced by over 185 inches of rainfall every year. As
we explore the 200 acre garden, colorful blossoms including bromeliads,
hibiscus and orchids surround you while tropical birds sing nearby. Your
nature guide will provide information about the garden’s interesting history
and efforts to save some of the rarest plants in the world.
After
departing Lyon Arboretum we visit the picturesque Chinese Great Ancestors
Mound perched high on a grass covered hill below Pu’u Pia. Traveling through
the historic valley you will learn about the fascinating local history and
mythology. The ancient, cloud-swept, emerald green hills have witnessed a
steady procession of uses on the valley floor, from Hawaiian taro farms, to
cattle ranches, coffee plantations and Japanese rice paddies.
We then visit Pu`u `Uala-ka`a located 1,048 feet above Waikiki. From this
lofty vantage point you have a breathtaking 180 degree panoramic view of
Oahu’s scenic southeast coastline and sometimes a glistening double rainbow
arching across the Valley of the Rainbows far below.
