Cloud forest tour! - So enlightening and enjoyable. Heather Rose was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Amazing to see plants I’ve never seen before, and even more amazing to see what can happen in 40 years. I highly recommend the experience, well worth the money.

Cloud forest tour - We greatly enjoyed this easy hike and wonderful tour through the cloud forest. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun for the whole family. Our seven year old son is still talking about the “bacon tree.”

Amazing experience - Expensive but happy to give for restoring the Hawaiian cloud forest. Hike leader was entertaining and very well informed. We also had the opportunity to volunteer for the monthly clean up

Magical Place - The title says it all - a forest sanctuary. If you find peace in nature, then this is your bliss. What's more, it's potentially one of the few success stories of humans manipulating nature, as the guild explained. A truly magical place.

Magical destination - A beautiful spot well worth a visit. I recommend a sound bath (that’s what we did) or another class/ event. It was a truly magical experience
