Absolutely recommend - We really enjoyed our tour with Daniel. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The tour was very informative. The place is beautiful, plants are gorgeous. Even my husband, who is not a plants lover, had a great time and learned a lot.

Ahhhhh! Such a lovely walk! - This place is a hidden gem! The 2.5 hr hike was more of a leisurely walk in the woods. Our guide, Daniel, was great. It was obvious that he loved sharing the wonders of this place. Its a small group experience so you it feels like a hike with friends. The sound of birds. The smell of plants and earth..... Top it off with the sound bath meditation experience!

Amazing place to visit - This was a very interesting walk-through a private forest. We learned a lot about the ecology of the island and saw some really interesting plants. The flowers were also very pretty. Anna was an amazing guide and explained everything to us very well. Overall, we all enjoyed it

Best Tour Guide! - We had a great time and learned so much about the plants and trees of the sanctuary. Anna was an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the species of plants, birds of Hawaii was top notch. I have had scientific tours from Africa to the Galapagos and her delivery and depth of knowledge was fun, very informative and educational on a sophisticated and easy to absorb level. That is talent! She even spotted 3 hawks all together for us - such a rare sighting too!
