Nature
Kahanu Garden, on Maui’s northern coast near Hāna, is a National Tropical Botanical Garden site established in 1972 in a landscape of black lava shorelines and one of Hawaiʻi’s last undisturbed hala forests. It is known for ethnobotanical collections of plants traditionally used by Pacific Island peoples, especially the world’s largest breadfruit collection, with about 150 varieties gathered from more than 17 Pacific island groups and other island regions. The garden also contains Piʻilanihale Heiau, believed to be the largest heiau in the Hawaiian Islands, a major basalt ceremonial complex whose main terrace dates to the 14th century and later additions to the 16th century.
