Admission includedTucked into the green folds of Oahu's North Shore, Waimea Valley draws you in with the scent of tropical blooms and the sound of birdsong drifting through dense forest canopy. A paved trail winds past hundreds of labeled plant species, each one part of one of Hawaii's most significant botanical collections. Waimea Valley rewards slow walkers who pause to notice the details, from ancient Hawaiian heiau platforms rising quietly through the foliage to the cool mist rising off Waihi Falls at the trail's end.
