The Arboretum and Waterfalls

Rare conifers, palms, bamboo, rare tropicals and native plants in a forest setting on beautiful waterfalls

“The Mauna Kea Bioreserve is a unique opportunity to see temperate and tropical plants grow side by side and to explore the symbiosis between conifers and native Hawaiian Plants”

Axel Kratel, founder
