This is more of a yoga/hippie retreat. I’m an ecology lover myself which is what drew me to Hawaii but this didn’t really do it for me. I would highly recommend if you have time to just go to the botanical gardens in Hilo. I opted for this instead because I was staying on the Kona side of the island, but I definitely regretted it. It was nice, but just not what I was looking for. It was very peaceful with lots of diversity but it just wasn’t for me.
Aloha, and mahalo for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We're glad to hear you found the forest peaceful and appreciated its diversity, but we're sorry the experience wasn't what you were hoping for. Our guided experiences are intentionally different from a traditional hike or botanical garden visit. Rather than focusing on covering a long distance or showcasing curated plant collections, our tours are designed as slow, immersive walks through a living restoration project. We share the ecology, geology, conservation efforts, and interconnected relationships that have transformed this 200-year-old lava flow into a thriving cloud forest over the past four decades. While some guests also enjoy the mindfulness woven into the experience, our primary focus is education, restoration, and fostering a deeper connection with this unique ecosystem. If you’d be open to sharing more with us over the phone, we’d love the opportunity to listen and learn from your experience. We would be happy to continue the conversation and apply a credit based on the value you felt you received. We look forward to hearing from you. Mahalo again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best as you continue exploring Hawaiʻi's incredible natural places. With aloha, The Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary ʻohana
Very informative walk through a sanctuary that has been developing in ver 40 years with the same family. Nice to see a forest re-developing at natural pace
Mahalo for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the cool mountain climate and learning about the sanctuary's restoration journey. At 3,000 feet above sea level, the cloud forest offers a refreshing escape from the Kona heat, with temperatures typically ranging from 60–70°F. Over the past 45 years, our family has restored what was once deforested pastureland into a thriving cloud forest through thoughtful stewardship and care.

We hope to welcome you back again soon. With aloha, The Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary ʻohana
Great experience at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary! From our guide Drew, we learned a lot about their family and community-based restoration process of the forest and many plants (yes we walked around the trees in the tour photo and touched the rainbow eucalyptus trees) and animals (honeycreepers and others). Most importantly, we learned that trees are essential components of the cloud formation and frequent rains on this part of the island. It takes a lot of time and effort to protect the environment, including removing invasive species. Their efforts are entirely funded by these tours, so I'd encourage people to support them by visiting! Last but not least, for dog lovers, a cute puppy (pictured) joined our tour and was having such a great time running around
Mahalo for your thoughtful review and for recommending the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed learning about the forest's restoration journey with Drew, one of the co-owners of the sanctuary. Our family's 45-year reforestation effort is a story that has been passed down through our family for over four decades, and we're grateful to share it with others. Thank you for recognizing that every visit directly supports our ongoing work to preserve, protect, and restore this rare cloud forest. Your support truly helps make a difference. We hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to Hawaiʻi. With aloha, The Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary ʻohana
Took the longer tour today and it was fantastic. Probably the best tour of any kind I have ever taken. Sierra, our guide, taught me so much about the plants and trees and history of the sanctuary. If you have a chance, definitely go! You won't regret it!

Hands down the best experience on the island for nature lovers! Second time doing it, and this time got the sound bath add on. The forest is beautiful, you learn about the integrated and diverse forest. How a forest needs diversity in order to promote growth and health. I always love seeing how nothing ever goes to waste in nature. The guides are knowledgeable, I learn something new each time! I really loved hearing about the restoration of the cloud forest as well as understanding all the medicinal plants that are there. The sound bath was also nice because you get a chance to meditate, relax and listen to the sounds of nature accented by the gong and flutes of the sound bath. Meditation can really help you reset and relax. Everyone should try a little nature therapy in the cloud forest followed by meditation to drain out any residue from the chaos that can bombard your senses every day. Loved the sanctuary and look forward to coming back!
Drew was an excellent guide. Such passion for his mission. He is like the cloud forest whisperer. The cloud forest was a breath of fresh air...literally!
Terrific experience. Something I have only enjoyed in St Lucia, but this was much more inclusive and informative. It’s clear the family has a sincere passion for this. I would encourage any visitors to the island to experience this.
Mahalo for your kind recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you found your visit both enjoyable and informative.

My family of 5 went here (3 teenagers) and everyone learned something new or discovered something cool along the way. Sierra was our guide and she was fabulous!
