Yeah man - it's pretty insane. Our favorite place on Oahu so far, for sure.

You all are making us wish we were spending some time in Oahu while we are on the islands!! Keep it up :)

Thanks!! Each island has its charm, but we love living on Oahu so much

So that's what the view at Haleiwa Joe's looks like in the day time! I've only sat in there at night when it's dark! It's beautiful!

Oh yes! It is so, so beautiful! Definitely should go back when it's light out--you can walk around the gardens too! We love getting there right when it opens :)

Thanks for driving me around Lisa..

this place is so magical :)

great video!! What is the best time of day to take pictures? I like the photograph of the road and in the background the green mountain with clouds

Do you recommend to go there first week of February? I heard is raining season.. What is a place to stop by food on the way there? Thanks in advance

Just curious on how long you spent at the gardens? We are making a day of windward activities with this and the temples but want to leave some time for a few things in town and beach if possible - thanks

wow, just looked at pictures at the Viña del Mar Botanical Garden, stunning!!! will definitely have to add that to our list of travel destinations

Thanks for the video! I am a bird photographer and having trouble finding info on birds. Have you seen a lot of forest small birds there? Any other locations where birds let you get close? Not really the mallard ducks lol but other things? Thanks. Gary

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but the small birds here don't let you very close to them. If you want a botanical garden where you can get semi close to the smaller birds, Waimea Botanical Garden is a good one.

Is it only the entrance where people can't take picture? Can we park inside once we drive in ? Do you recommend driving or uber there?

@LisaAndJosh

2 жыл бұрын

that's what we were told--just at the entrance. yes, there are a few parking lots inside park :) we haven't had experience taking an uber there, so we aren't sure if there would be some readily available to that part of the island

how long does it normally take to explore the whole place?

How’s the traffic from Waikiki to the botanical garden? I’ve heard the traffic is bad there in honolulu.

Definitely can get congested, depending on the time and day you go. We lived on the east side, so it wasn't too bad once you get to the Pali Hwy.

everytime I go there, I tell myself to apply there. Can you imagine that being your office? gotta try Adela's country Eatery, order ahead

can you visit the garden by bike? how long would it take?

@LisaAndJosh

3 жыл бұрын

That’s a great question! We did see some concluded go through the garden, so i think you could ride bikes there. But since it’s on the other side of the island, it was only accessible to us by car or bus. So depending on where you are starting from, you may be able to bike there. But if in Waikiki or Honolulu, car would be best to actually get there

Hi! Congrats on the car😋 I didn’t know that cinnamon grew on trees either 👀 I would have love to spend the day there and then end it with some delicious food 😊

Because tourists hold up traffic and its super annoying for those who live there and just wanna enjoy the park 🙄
