Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden during the rain is a lush and vibrant environment, with the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves and the ground providing a constant background noise. The air is moist and fresh, and the vegetation is a deeper shade of green due to the rain. Water accumulates on leaves and tree trunks, creating a shiny, glistening appearance.
Our waterfalls are more intense during the rain as the increased rainfall causes the rivers to flow stronger. The sound of the waterfall may also become louder during this time. Come and visit HTBG during the rain to experience something truly unique.
Some people visit us to relax; some seek adventure; some come to learn and experience local culture. We are fortunate to provide a place where you can have all of these experiences and more.
