Ever wanted to take a stroll inside a volcano? A visit to the Koko Crater Botanical Garden will allow you to do just that, with the opportunity to admire some beautiful scenery as well. And you don’t need to be afraid of possible eruptions disrupting your visit—the volcano itself is long dormant, but the potential of its fertile soil was taken note of by the leaders of Honolulu County. Thanks to their efforts, this garden will drastically redefine your impressions of the desert. Instead of a desolate wasteland, you will come to see the desert as a life-sustaining habitat that is capable of great beauty. Thanks to systematic water saving concepts, the botanical garden has blossomed into a green space that is verdant with life and colour. Tropical flowers, trees and cacti of every species imaginable await you at every turn, a veritable feast for the senses. Take a good look, as many of these dryland plants are rare and endangered. The sharp scent of nectar hangs heavy in the dry air. Stretching over 200 acres of dusty soil, this desert adventure is an easy trail for the entire family and is sure to provide a fascinating experience for all.
