Akatsuka Orchid Gardens in Volcano, Hawaii, is a tranquil and educational orchid nursery with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Since 1974, it has grown a large inventory showcasing a variety of beautiful orchid and anthurium blooms. The business is known for its great customer service, great prices, and specialty plants available to the public. Purchases can be made in person or online, with orders packed perfectly and shipped very fast. Plants arrive healthy and undamaged, making them excellent gifts. The nursery is open to the public on Mondays and Wednesdays, and many customers become return customers for life.
I ordered four orchids. They came from Hawaii to Texas in a matter of days, in fantastic shape, and carefully packaged. I only bought one that had buds and they literally started blooming the day I put them in the light. The blooms look just like the photos- I can’t wait for the other three to bloom..!

Went to the in-person location and had a great experience. Orchid selection was substantial and well-priced and organized. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and a great help. A must-see for anyone in Hilo looking for some flowering souvenirs and orchid-enthusiasts alike.

We have a house in Papaikou and spend most of our time in San Diego. My husband wanted to bring plants back to California so we ordered 3 orchids. The packaging was amazing and came so quickly! One of the orchids already has buds for flowers. Thank you so much! This place is great!!
