Spread across the upper region of the lush Manoa Valley, the 200 acre of Lyon Arboretum and Botanical garden is a man-made tropical paradise.

The number of trails that wind throughout its vast expanse and the serene water features that embrace the greenery all around, is something no one should miss when in Honolulu.
