Temporary Suspension of Catch-and-Release Fishing Program at Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden

Due to recent rains and flooding, the shoreline around the lake is currently saturated, and the trails leading down to the lake are slippery, rutted, and muddy. For the safety of all visitors, the program will remain suspended until conditions improve. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Updates will be provided as restoration efforts continue.

 Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden is Closed on Thursdays

As part of a recent poll, participants were given the choice of whether to close the botanical garden every Tuesday or Thursday. With 76% in favor of Thursday, and 24% for Tuesday the decision was confirmed. Mahalo to everyone who participated in this survey to give our beloved Ho‘omaluhia a day of rest. Read more about Ho’omaluhia’s day of rest here.
