Wahiawā Botanical Garden is a 27-acre garden and forested ravine in central O'ahu, operated by the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Parks and Recreation. The site traces its origins to the 1930s, when sugar planters used the land as an experimental arboretum; it has since grown into one of five botanical gardens in the Honolulu system. Situated between the Wai'anae and Ko'olau mountain ranges, the garden cultivates native Hawaiian plants, tree ferns, an Aroid collection, and epiphytic plants suited to the area's cooler upland climate and tropical rainforest conditions. The garden is available for wedding ceremonies by permit, accommodating up to 30 guests amid the open-air tree canopy or in a tent on the grounds. Admission is free and the garden is open daily, offering a distinctive natural setting for celebrations that favor lush botanical surroundings over traditional indoor venues.

Punakea Palms is a family-owned and run coconut orchard in the West Maui foothills. Through instructive and participatory tours of our everyday operations, we promote natural farming and coconut information. Our efforts are aimed at nurturing and raising community awareness about this miraculous plant. We planted approximately 250 sprouting coconuts 12 years ago, and they are now fully mature fruit bearing trees. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Maui's environment provides some of the best growing conditions for coconut palms in the world. Coconut trees bear fruit all year, and these conditions provide our farm with a potential annual production of approximately 10,000 nuts. We propagate a variety of native tropical plants and fruits in addition to the coconut palms. Bananas, papayas, avocados, mangos, pineapples, and sugar cane, as well as an exotic citrus grove, grow abundantly on the land. We're a friendly coconut farm in your area. If you have any specific requests or remarks, please contact us at any time. As soon as we get down from the trees, we'll react!

Capitol Modern — the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum — occupies the second floor of the historic No. 1 Capitol District Building in downtown Honolulu, steps from ʻIolani Palace. The 1928 Spanish-Mission structure was designed by Walker Emory, Marshall Webb, and Lincoln Rogers, and features cast stone detailing, iron grillwork, ornamental light fixtures, and original Italian tile work inspired by Florence's Davanzati Palace.

The museum presents the largest collection of works by Hawaiian artists and is free and open to the public.
