Do not miss the extraordinary Cloud Forest Sanctuary Tour on The Big Island! - Today's Cloud Forest Sanctuary Jungle Tour was fantastic. Daniel was an amazing guide and teacher, and we learned more than I can say. My husband and I went with our daughter and her family, and each of us came away inspired and hopeful about the possibilities for our planet and for the future. Bravo to a great program. It was a peak experience, and my favorite activity on the Big Island.

Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary - Absolutely beautiful. We loved learning the story behind the forest and seeing how much has grown in the last 40 years. I’ve already boasted about this place to family and friends. Daniel was an awesome tour guide. You can tell the employees are passionate about what they do here, it truly shows in their tours. We also had the opportunity to book the sound bath with Pam before our walk through the sanctuary and I can’t emphasize the experience enough. Hopefully people continue to support this place, I’d absolutely come back in the future!

Great nature tour - Anna was our guide for the 2 1/2 hour tour. She had an encyclopedic knowledge of the local trees, vegetation and birds; the history of how they came to Kona, current condition, etc. Anna was also very engaging with our group, which numbered 10, which made the entire experience very worthwhile.

We went on a ninety minute hike/tour of the cloud forest with a guide who explained everything - Brie gave us an excellent, educational, and inspiring tour of the cloud forest. There is a myriad of interesting plants and trees growing and living in harmony in this forest. I recommend checking it out.
