About the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary
The Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, located at 73-1865 Hao Street in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, is a unique institution that offers a blend of health, park, and tourist attraction experiences. Established in 1982, this lush cloud forest ecosystem on the dry side of Hawaii island is a labor of love for a multi-generation family dedicated to reforestation and nature immersion.
Visitors to the sanctuary can enjoy informative eco-tours, sound bath meditations, workshops, retreats, and other enriching experiences focused on cloud forest education and well-being. The sanctuary's mission is to promote loving connection, awareness, restoration, and preservation of forest ecosystems.
Nestled on the slopes of Hualālai, the sanctuary provides a tranquil escape into a mist-laden tropical cloud forest. Guided walking tours, sound bath meditations, and yoga sessions are just a few of the offerings available to guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
The sanctuary also hosts customized workshops led by expert guides, covering topics such as painting, forest connection, plant medicine, group circles, and more. Visitors can purchase gift cards for themselves or loved ones to experience the sanctuary's offerings.
To ensure the safety of visitors and preserve the forest's wellness, guided walks are the only way to explore the sanctuary. Guests are advised to wear sturdy shoes, bring water, a camera, and a rain jacket, as rain showers can occur at any time in a cloud forest.
As the only Winter-Dry Tropical Montane Cloud Forest in the United States, the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary is a vital ecosystem that requires protection and restoration. Donations to the sanctuary support its efforts to reforest and preserve this unique environment, ensuring clean water, healthy coral reefs, and thriving agriculture in the region.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an educational experience, the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with nature and support conservation efforts in Hawaii. Make a reservation to visit this sanctuary and immerse yourself in the beauty of the cloud forest.

Reviews of Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary
"I cannot begin to describe the unbelievable visit we had at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary. Our family of 21 came to Kona to celebrate a big birthday and we had a private tour led by the founder’s daughter. Not only did she entertain kids ranging from 6 to 14, but she also took the time to help create lasting, emotional memories that we will all carry forever. We have visited Kona many times but this was our first visit to the Cloud Forest Sanctuary. The forest is so beautiful that at times the flora and fauna looked fake! If you have a few hours while visiting The Big Island, be sure to visit this amazing treasure."
"What a wonderful experience! We did a tour here, plus a sound bath, silent disco, and potluck. Such wonderful people. A fantastic space and a transformative experience. We appreciated the deep knowledge of Hawaii's history, the importance of cloud forests, and the interesting plants there. This is definitely a wonderful thing to do whether local or visiting!"
"This was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life and I am so grateful that we decided to take this tour. We had a small group of 5, and 2 amazing guides, Teryn and Cheyenne. They were so knowledgeable about the forest and the island and had the most calming and welcoming presence as they led us through the trail. I had an incredible moment of peace near the eucalyptus after meeting Grandma Phyllis’s trees, and it’s something I will carry with me forever. Thank you guys so much for the work that you do and I hope to visit again someday!"
"My children and I recently visited Hawaii for the first time. Ten days in total with six on the Big Island. Visiting the Kona Cloud Forest Preserve for 3 hours was my favorite activity of those six days. The place was utterly fascinating. Terri was my group's guide and she did a tremendous job explaining the ecology and hydrology of this unique forest type and how it was reforested from former pasture land over the past 40 to 50 years. Terri had a solid working knowledge of the ethnobotany of the many plant species despite just a few months on the job. Definitely, a place worth visiting."
"Teryn was the best tour person we could have asked for. Her beautiful energy was palpable and she added so much more to our experience! Her passion for the sanctuary is remarkable and coupled w/ her knowledge, I would say this was one of my favorite parts of our honeymoon. Highly recommend! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars! And made me feel at peace knowing the history of how this started and hopeful for our future that there are souls out there protecting our earth ♥️"
