HAWAII “Big Island” • OAHU • KAUAI
DISCOVER BOTANICAL HAWAII
A Betchart Expeditions, Inc. in association with Pacific Horticulture Tour
April 1-11, 2019

We invite you to join us as we explore the botanical wonders of Hawaii, with leadership by an excellent Hawaii naturalist and a botanical expert.

Botanically, Hawaii is one of the most unique locations in the world! It is famous for its subtropical weather, mild ocean breezes, Polynesian culture, and diverse evolution of the native flora and fauna.

The Hawaiian archipelago has existed for tens of millions of years and was colonized by wind blown seeds and insects, migrating birds, and floating vegetation washing on shore. From these random beginnings the natural world was created. It is beautiful, unique, and a true paradise.

Hawaii offers the inquisitive traveler many opportunities to see native flora and fauna in the national and state Discover Botanical parks, and forest preserves. Botanic gardens, arboretums, and estates focus in part on preserving native species and, in some cases, endangered species propagation. The gardens also are wonderful places to see tropical trees, bushes, and flowers from all over the world.

On this botanical adventure, we will explore the finest botanical gardens on the islands of Oahu, the Big Island of Hawaii, and the Garden Island of Kauai, plus the geological wonders and native Hawaiian trees, plants, and birds at Hawaii Volcano National Park, and majestic Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park. From the brilliant red i’iwi bird to the Koa and Kukui trees, Hawaii is a natural gem just waiting to be discovered!

Come join us for lifelong memories of the wonders of these splendid islands!
