FOREST BATHING HAWAI‘I
Come back to yourself,
Your relation to all things,
said Rain, said Forest.

Aloha! I'm Phyllis Look, Hawai‘i’s first certified forest therapy guide.

When we walk together along easy trails under the forest canopy, I'll invite you to touch and listen to the trees, to smell and taste what is on the wind, to notice what you are seeing as if for the first time. Slowly, time and worries fall away, and we remember again what it is to be alive!


Forbes called Forest Bathing Hawai‘i’s walk in a rain forest one of the top five travel experiences in the world "that should be on every intrepid traveler's bucket list."
The New York Times recommended forest bathing at Lyon Arboretum for a 36-hour itinerary in Honolulu.
Treehugger selected our in-person walks as one of the top sustainable travel experiences in the world.

You really want to do this, for three reasons: 1. Shinrin-Yoku can really help calm, rejuvenate and restore your sense of well-being, 2. Lyon Arboretum is absolutely beautiful, 3. Phyllis is a true professional who individualizes your experience and knows how to facilitate connecting us humans with ourselves and with the forest. -- Galen Chock, M.D., Honolulu pediatrician

As a busy professional who sits behind a desk and is constantly glued to my mobile device, I intellectually understand the value of disconnecting and slowing down; but actually doing it is easier said than done. This forest bathing experience was a chance to have a dedicated escape from a schedule and that feeling like you should be more productive than you are. This experience [at Kahalu‘u Gallery and Gardens] was two hours to explore and get quiet and be OK with being exactly where I was in the moment. Plus.... there were so many cool things to discover in the forest!!! I've never seen so many purple plants and leaves. Phyllis is a certified guide in this industry of natural healing, and you could tell. She was kind, intentional, helpful and welcoming. It was a great two hours well spent. -- Sam, California
