A new favorite tour of mine! - Originally, we had booked the cloud forest, sea turtle and coffee tour but we're notified there were not enough bookings for that day. We opted for something smaller and found this option and it was perfect! They offered walking sticks and paced the tour very well so even someone like me with energy limiting chronic illness had ease keeping up! It was a blast and Kalani and Mac were excellent tour guides.

Exceptional and unique experience on the Big Island - The Kona cloud Forest Sanctuary is a peaceful, misty, and beautifully curated nature experience. It is a rare chance to step into one of Hawaii’s most fragile ecosystems. We learned so much from our wonderful guides, Max and.Kalani

Beautiful, slow-paced, and perfect for older travelers - My mom and I did the Pantropical Trail tour, and it was a lovely, peaceful change of pace from the beaches and volcanoes. We saw a huge variety of trees and plants, including bamboo groves and Rudraksha trees from India, which was a special surprise for us. Native plants like ʻōhiʻa and tree ferns grow right alongside them. The tour is slow-paced and very well suited to older visitors. They hand out bamboo walking sticks, the group walks at a gentle pace, and there are frequent stops to rest and learn about the plants. If you're traveling with parents or grandparents, this is a great choice.

Visit Kona's Beautiful Cloud Forest! - We did the early morning birding tour and had a wonderful experience. Drew is so knowledgeable about birds that live in the forest as well as their habitat and conservation efforts. We saw six species of birds and heard many, many more. Go and support this unique sanctuary and don't forget to grab some yummy banana bread on your way out. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Drew!

Perfect for those who want to experience the Hawaiian forest without hiking for miles - Although the walk was short for me, being an avid hiker it is perfect for those who want to experience the Hawaiian forest without hiking for miles. Our guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable about the entire area and if any of us had a question he took the time to stop and answer in good detail. The area was so beautiful and loaded with lush greenery. There were bright colorful flowers of yellow and red. And among all that my favorite was the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree with it's colorful bark. I recommend this hike/walk to explore.

Wonderful experience! Time and dollars well spent! - Our guide was knowledgeable, warm and engaging. Our group included two families with small children that I initially thought would be a problem and I was pleasantly surprised, due to the guide’s hands on approach, the children’s presence enhanced my experience! I look forward to returning for birding, crystal bowls, forest bathing and the longer tour.

Katana was a very good... - Katana was a very good guide. She gave us stories about certain trees and was knowledgeable when questions were asked. Gave us time to absorb the unique atmosphere of the cloud forest. Thanks Kalani
