Unique tour in the United States only Cloud Forest. - I strongly recommend taking the complete tour. It was amazing to learn so much about all of the different plants. We even got to hug the rainbow eclipsis. Drew knew so much and was a great teacher. It is great to see someone who loves what they do and enjoy sharing it with others. We even did the sound bath portion. It was a wonderful experience.

A day in the clouds - What a beautiful and unique experience! My husband and I did the cloud forest tour and really loved it. Fyi it’s more of an educational nature walk than a hike. But truly a one of a kind day. Up in the mountains where it’s much cooler than the coastline so we recommend pants and a raincoat/poncho. Had a magical time watching the clouds literally descend on this epic preserve. Everything was stunning and the pictures prove it. Special shout out to the soulful and exquisite tour guide crew who are passionate and the most knowledgeable nature buffs you will ever meet. Getting to hang with them was a true pleasure.

Unique experience you won’t forget - My adult daughter and I loved seeing and leaning about all the plants and the uniqueness of the cloud forest. The plants and flowers were so beautiful. Our guide was Teryn and she was a wealth of knowledge and a delight to be with. We followed our tour with the sound bath which I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. If we had planned better I would have also done the yoga. Spending time in this unique place is very special. The energy, air and pure beauty is truly something to behold.

Relaxing and informative tour - The 1.5 hour tour offers wonderful insights to the cloud forest in a relaxed environment. Taryn is a fantastic guide with a lot of knowledge. Her warm welcome and regular invitations to guests to share their thoughts and questions helped make us comfortable asking questions about anything we saw, no matter how small...and oh boy those snails are really small! Tour was well paced to allow time for multiple stops to absorb our surroundings. The footing was tricky at times and involved some mud and stepping over large roots, but with the help of the walking stick, it was more than manageable for my less than fit physique.

Amazing jungle tour! - If you do nothing else in Kona, book this tour! It was absolutely breath taking! You truly feel like you are in a little piece of heaven on earth! The day we went was a little misty and the clouds were literally right among the tops of the trees. It couldn’t have been any more perfect! Our guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much! It was so good for our souls!
