Garden of Eden Arboretum

The Garden of Eden Arboretum is a spectacular 26-acre botanical garden situated directly on the famed Road to Hana in Maui, Hawaii. It serves as a popular, well-maintained stop for travelers, offering a genuine “paradise” experience with over 700 botanically labeled tropical plant species. A major draw is the sweeping coastal overlook that provides a view of Keopuka Rock—also known as “Jurassic Rock”—which famously appeared in the opening scenes of the film Jurassic Park.

The property is ecologically diverse, featuring Hawaii’s most extensive collection of Ti plants, a tranquil bamboo alley, and magnificent rainbow eucalyptus trees, alongside unique vantage points for viewing the Puohokamoa Waterfalls. Visitors appreciate the property’s amenities, which include approximately 2.5 miles of accessible trails, clean restrooms, an art gallery, and a food stop, making it an ideal and peaceful spot to stretch, explore, and enjoy the island’s lush environment.
