Forest Bathing in a Rain Forest

Honolulu Trip Overview

The NY Times has recommended this experience as 1 of the top things to do in Honolulu. Forbes named Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi’s walks in the top 5 “incredible once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences that should be on every intrepid traveler’s bucket list.” Treehugger named us one of top green travel experiences in the world. Participants have said how this experience was the best way to start their vacation.

On this gentle, mindful walk on the verdant grounds of the Lyon Arboretum, you’ll leave behind the stresses of the world and get in touch with the healing powers of the forest. As we move through about a mile of easy trail over the course of the 2-hour experience, your certified forest therapy guide will offer a series of “invitations” to help you re-connect with nature through your senses. Forest therapy is an evidence-based practice inspired by the Japanese “Shinrin-yoku” (translates to “forest bathing”), now a global wellness movement.
