Cloud Forest Temple | 73-1885 Hao Street
This passionate conservation project offers something truly special: the chance to walk through Hawaii's only accessible cloud forest while directly supporting its restoration. Visitors consistently describe the experience as "magical" and "heartwarming," especially after learning how the sanctuary has transformed the landscape in just over 40 years. The guides—Anna, Daniel, Brie, and Drew (whose grandfather started the project)—earn glowing praise for their extensive knowledge of native plants, Hawaiian cultural traditions, and the forest's history. The tours accommodate various fitness levels, with one reviewer noting their 90-year-old husband handled the terrain beautifully. Beyond the standard forest walks, many visitors rave about the sound bath experiences with Brooke, which incorporate crystal singing bowls and vocal alchemy in a serene natural setting. The diverse ecosystem provides a complete contrast to the beach resort areas, making it an ideal excursion for those wanting to experience a different side of the Big Island without driving to the east side. Repeat visitors are common, with people returning to see how the forest continues to evolve.
Stumbled upon this gem of a place with a random google search. Of course it was beautiful and calm, but I didn’t expect it to be so diverse. I visited with my friend and we did the forest walk and it was such an educating and lovely experience. Drew happened to be our guide and told us all about how the sanctuary started with his grandfather and it was truly heartwarming. I definitely will be visiting again and bringing my friends and family here. Would also be great to see how the terrain and species change after some time.
