Wonderful selection as well as great people. This was my second visit and was not disappointed. I had purchased/shipped 4 beautiful orchids. Arrived on schedule in great shape. Thank you. Mahalo. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Olomana Orchids! Cathy showed us around, helped us pick beautiful plants, and was so kind and fun to talk story with. We even met Zeke the dog, the sweetest little cutie. I paid for two orchids, and they generously included an extra one for free, truly the aloha spirit. The orchids I had shipped home arrived in perfect condition with such careful packaging. I feel so lucky to be entrusted with a small piece of Hawai'i that I brought home to nurture and care for. Mahalo nui loa to Cathy and everyone at Olomana! read more

I met Peter, the owner of Olomama Orchids. He was very kind as he expertly explained the types of orchids and the care they need. I left with 2 beauties and info about the local Orchid Society meetings. What a great day! Can't wait to go back. -Trish read more

What an awesome family run business. They have hundreds, if not thousands of affordably priced and very unique orchids to choose from - many of which I cannot purchase back home in CA. The woman working there walking around with us and took lots of time helping us find the more rare and unique varieties and colors I was interested in, and gave us very helpful transport and care instructions. She let me know I could pay a lesser cost to carry them back by hand or in my carry-on hassle-free, which was definitely the case! We got 4 small/medium orchids for $80, all of which are extremely rare and unique. Couldn't have been happier with our experience and purchase read more

Such a special place. We live on the North Shore and we gladly drive to the other side of the island to buy plants from this great local business. Truly a great place with great people. If you're from here, give this business your money. Great ohana-based business. If you're visiting...their orchids make lasting, beautiful gifts from our island. read more

Whenever I have visitors to the Islands, Olomana Orchids is one of the requisite stops along the way up around the East side to the North Shore. The reason why has mostly to do with the family that runs Olomana Orchids, and their philosophy and subtle passion for the art of the love of Orchids. Orchids are among the most difficult of flowers to care for. And their needs change, depending on the individual strain of Orchid. Much like the care and love of women for men, the love and tending of Orchids is a thing that requires understanding, care, love, affection, and a willingness to not choose the easy thing; but instead to dedicate oneself to a pursuit that may be difficult and challenging to understand and implement, but ultimately rewards. In the case of Orchids, it is a beautiful, sustainable bloom that can last a lifetime. In the case of women, it is a beautiful, sustainable, bloom that can last a lifetime. I will be honest, and say that I do not understand women, and I do not understand orchids, but I strive to understand both, and to love both for the curious, individual beauty that both possess. And the owner of Olomana Orchids, while he may not be able to advise me on women, possesses an incredible wealth of knowledge that he is more than happy to share about Orchids. My (now-ex) fiancee and I visited Olomana Orchids a few weeks ago, and were treated to not only exceptional service, but were provided with above-and-beyond education on the various kinds of orchids, and the care and love of them. It fascinates me, how some are so hardy and easy to tend to, and yet are so beautiful; on the other hand, how some are so rare and so difficult as a diamond in the rough, yet are so incomprehensibly beautiful that my breath was taken away at their beauty, much as a woman's. These at Olomana Orchids are often unique, bred to be their own, individual, that you can only find here. Cared for and raised individually, perhaps just for you. It is in my opinion that if you, as a man, can care for and love and raise and orchid to success, you are one step closer to learning how to learn and understand and respect the things that make a woman unique, herself, and how to love her and care for her. Anyway. I bring my visitors here because the owners are extremely helpful. There is a display room where you can view what they have; and they have a growing area that you have access to also, where you can see what is actually going on. I have never met anyone who understands and has the kind of passion for orchids that I can identify with, and the owners will take the time to educate and help you select the orchids that are right for what you want. The other thing I have always really admired is that like a good friend when it comes to relationships, they won't let you buy an orchid that is "junk", meaning, they won't let you buy an orchid which looks good at the moment, but will quickly degrade and not last. I've uploaded almost two dozen sample photos here. Please take a look at them yourself. Prices are very reasonable also. We were able to buy for as inexpensively as $7, and depending on how you want it packed and shipped, will be similarly affordable (they do fully certified shipping to the mainland US). The owners are also very honest, and will tell you which ones are worth buying and which ones are not. They will teach you about how to observe the stems and roots, and the mistakes people make in looking at how the current bloom is, instead of how the history of the stems are, and about the buds. We trusted his advice, and today, even though she and I are no longer together, I have an incredibly beautiful bloom of orchids planted in my backyard that I tend to, as beautiful as Olomana Orchids promised, growing and flourishing as predicted and advised, for only $7 dollars. Look for Olomana Orchids on the way to Kualoa. Left side of the road if you're heading north. Right side if you're heading south. They are worth a stop, especially if you are a visitor, or taking visitors on a tour of our islands to show them a unique experience that they can take home with them. Orchids are a labor of love. A labor of love that most often is worth the effort. Learn to love and care for an orchid, and you will be able to take the first step toward learning how to love and care for a woman. She, like an orchid, is delicate yet strong. Beautiful, but if you don't care for it, will cease to bloom. And if you take care of it right, will be a reward in itself. Stop by if you are on your North Shore drive/ tour. Talk to the owner. It will be worth it, and you may even come away with something beautiful that you can grow for a lifetime. read more

We noticed this spot while driving for a bit and thought it would be nice to get my mom a gift from here (she loves orchids). We noticed that we were only a couple minutes from closing, so we called and asked if it's ok to come up; once they heard it was for a Christmas gift, they were all for it. We looked around for a couple of minutes before one of the employees asked us who we were shopping for. When I explained that my mom loves orchids, she said that she had just the one--we were lead towards the back in an employee only area and found a beautiful orchid like none I had ever seen before. They gift wrapped it and talked to us about the species and how to care for it, and even threw in some free extra plants! Such a fantastic little spot with an amazing selection and better staff. read more

This orchid farm is spectacular! They create all kinds of unique hybrids that are really unique. Fair prices and good people. Seems like a close-knit family business, which is always wonderful. The owner was very helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. He got a kick out of it when I Referred to him as the grandmaster of orchids, Comparing him to the owner of Dragon Bonsai in waimanalo as the grandmaster of bonsai. Btw.. They are the suppliers of the orchids that walmart in Hawaii sells. Just an FYI. (I guess not EVERYTHING walmart sells is from China! Apparently they buy all the plants locally. {Everything else is made in China} ) Anyway if you are in the area, this place is amazing to visit! It's by chinaman's hat in kahekili hwy. great prices, healthy orchids, unique hybrids that are crossbred and raised by them. The secret to their very healthy orchids? All of the orchids are under a mesh "greenhouse" sort of dealio, providing them indirect sunlight but also shade. They have an automatic misting system to water the orchids gently, And they are so healthy! read more

Heading up north to play tourist is always fun. Businesses that survive are the ones designed for that tourism experience. Shaved Ice, food carts, souvenir "art" galleries, gas stations, convenience stores, and of course plant nurseries. Olomana Orchids is the last orchid nursery standing in this region, and with good reason. They have very sell-able orchids, very friendly staff, very attractive nursery, and a great easy-to-spot location. Olomana is a massive producer of dendrobiums. When you enter their nursery, there's thousands upon thousands of dendrobiums. I'm not a fan of dendrobiums, but they are quite easy to sell to the average-joe that wants an orchid. They bloom consistently, easy to care for, and not fragile which is great for sending. The first time I came here was many many years ago, before I was interested in orchids. Even then, I was not a dendrobium fan. I spoke to the owner, Peter. He suggested I would probably be more interested in flamboyant species, told me which nurseries carried them, and invited me to an orchid show. I suppose, I can say thanks to him, I now collect orchids. I would personally give this place 3 stars, but that's from a collector's standpoint. From the point of view of a person traveling up north and wanting to by orchids, this place deserves 4 stars. read more

The owners, a brother and sister team, Peter and Trudy, REALLY know their orchids! They are very friendly and willing to answer any questions or just make orchid conversation. This business was started by their father, and Peter lives on the property. They are only open until about 3, so hurry there. Orchid selection was pretty good, saw a few hybrids I had never seen before. But it's the great prices that sets this place apart! WHOO! Left there with 6 different orchids. You can pay with cash or card. read more

I was looking for a place to order online during lockdown and was fortunate enough to find Olomana Orchids. They are so kind, helpful and knowledgeable! They even looked for orchids with two flowering spikes for me! The orchids were shipped to me and when they arrived I was so impressed with how well they were packed. All of the flowers were beautiful and the plants were very healthy. I highly recommend Olomana Orchids if you are looking for some flowers to brighten your home or as a gift! My flowers lasted for three months!!! read more

The owner helped me pick out an orchid for myself and my mother right before Mother's Day weekend. He saw the ones I picked out and recommended another one that was budding but not blooming yet. I'm so glad I took his advice. My orchid has been blooming for weeks and is gorgeous!!! read more

I ordered the small holiday gift basket on a Tuesday to ship to Las Vegas. The beautiful basket of orchid plants arrived on Thursday (yes Fed-Ex 2 days!!) just in time for my Dads surprise birthday party. They packaged the plant so well that even though the temperatures in Vegas were in the 100s it did not affect the plants at all. My Dad loved the gift basket & I am so happy I decided to order from Olomana Orchids - I will always recommend them to everyone!! read more

I gave this establishment 5 stars because the place was clean, the owner Paul, was the one who greeted us. He is not only knowledgeable, he was very helpful. He didn't just sell me an orchid, he made sure he picked the best in the lot for me to bring home. The package was shipped to my mainland home the day after we arrived. Packed in a beautiful box but even more surprising the orchids where packed with so much care. They arrived the same way when I picked them. read more

Aloha! Peter, much Mahalo! My husband and I visited your beautiful Orchid farm today and picked up 7 Honohono orchid plants. Our friend who received 2 plants out of the 7 was overjoyed to have been given these special orchids. We appreciate your knowledge on Honohono orchids and especially your willingness to take the time to walk through your farm to find what we wanted. Now days it's hard to find owners that are sincere and so pleasant. We are looking forward to taking care of these special orchids and seeing it blossom next year. read more

We have found heaven!!!! This nursery is fantastic the staff is warm and friendly and very knowledgeable (but we already knew that). We were visiting friends on the North Shore and ran across this gem. Chris (my husband) just beat cancer and Ohau was his gift for beating it. When we stopped at the nursery we knew we found an excellent place to purchase orchids. Enough can't be said about Peter and family/staff. When you purchase from here you know you are getting a healthy and vibrant plant. All their plants are healthy and are just perfect. The only hard choice is what color you want. THANK YOU GUYS, YOU MADE OUR BEAT CANCER TRIP SPECIAL. read more

Arrived a day later than I thought but it arrived in tact and I was very pleased with the orchids we chose. They arrived with a few blossoms showing and my family loved the gift from Hawaii. It was a great surprise! Definitely will be back. read more

Really wonderful orchid farm. The every-changing selection was almost overwhelming. The owner, Peter, answered a host of questions from us and went quite a bit further in explaining our choices and potential challenges we might face with them, plus detailed history of each plant. We ended up buying 4 and having them shipped home to us on the East Coast. They arrived exactly when he said they would and in perfect condition. Lastly, the prices are terrific, especially compared to what we'd pay in the NYC area. The price for 4 orchids plus 2nd day Fed Ex from Hawaii was about the same cost as one, lower quality orchid without shipping that we might find in Manhattan. read more

A few months ago we bought three orchids here. We were extremely pleased with the friendly and attentive service we received. Being first time orchid owners we were nervous, but the staff was very informative and helpful in assisting us with our purchase. Not only was the quality of service exceptional but the prices of our plants were far less than we had expected to spend. I highly recommend Olomana Orchids! read more

Just left and had an amazing experience. Peter took over about his day to explain what would work best for us in our home state of Minnesota. He answered any and all the questions we had regarding the the kinds and care. Prices were unbelievably reasonable. Can not recommend enough. read more

My family just returned from a vacation in Hawaii. While there we stopped in at Olomana Orchids. The wife and I had 2 orchids shipped home to MA. The owner was extremely helpful in helping us choose what had the best characteristics to grow in our region (we know nothing about growing orchids). We picked two which just arrived today. First the packing was meticulous, in my wife's words, "There was no way anything was going to move". The blooms were still intact. Second as a bonus the owner included a third orchid (seedling) free! We would definitely buy from Olomana Orchids again. A mighty Mahalo nui loa from Massachusetts Olomana! read more

Ordered an orchid gift basket, which was impressive and beautiful. There was a problem with the delivery (FedEx/UPS) but the Olomana staff personally made the extra effort to see that the order was delivered. This is a reliable business that provides a beautiful product and excellent customer service. Cannot ask for more. read more

I had a happy shopping and shipping experience picking out my own orchid plants from Olomana Orchids. I didn't meet the owners, but the two employees who assisted me (Justine and someone whose name I didn't get) were very helpful, friendly, and informative. What really impressed me was the shipping and packaging: speedy FedEx service to the East Coast and ALL the packaging was recyclable and compostable (so great not to be stuck with disposal of a bunch of rigid Styrofoam, peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.). The orchids arrived in perfect condition, and in fact looked like they'd been groomed and tidied before shipping. I'm very pleased with my orchids and plan to visit Olomana again the next time I'm vacationing on the main island. read more

The best part of this is that Mr Olomana Orchids is so hospitable and gracious without any consideration for our 'reviews.' He clearly loves his work so much that he wants to share his joy in creating beautiful flowers with any and all who want to come and look around or purchase some plants. Just received my order here in Boston today in the dead of summer and every plant looked as beautiful as when I chose it last Thursday afternoon in Olomana Orchids nursery on Oahu. It was such a treat to wander through the collection. Highly recommend this place to the afficionado OR the novice orchid lover. read more

We dropped by just to check it out. BEAUTIFUL and amazing. Peter helped us and was so informative it was amazing. I grew up surrounded by agriculture and worked at a florist for years. I learned so much from Peter it was amazing. Order from here ~ they ship to the mainland. Never go anywhere else! read more

Thank you Peter for the amazing service and beautiful orchid! While we were staying on the North Shore I saw Olomana Orchids and immediately thought of my mother in law who is a collector. Peter helped me pick a unique (and reasonably priced) variety that would grow well where she lives. My husband and mother were a little hesitant to believe that the plant would withstand such a long journey intact but she said it arrived in perfect condition two days later as promised. She loves it and is very excited about the extra seedling she received as a thank you. I only wish I would have bought more! I would recommend this business to anyone who enjoys orchids and is going to be in the area. It was definitely one of the best souvenirs and unbelievably one of the less costly-even with 2 day fed-ex shipping! Mahalo. read more
