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!

Guided forest therapy walks at Lyon Arboretum, Honolulu (2.5 - 3 hours)
A gentle, highly interactive immersion in a 100-year-old botanical garden just 20 minutes from Waikīkī. Your guide will offer a series of sensory invitations, plus opportunities to quietly reflect, and to share your observations with other walk participants. Suitable for most physical abilities. |
Nature connection and cultural experience at Camp Palehua, Kapolei (3.5 - 4 hours)
A unique experience combining forest bathing, hiking and place-based learning in the Waiʻanae mountains. On your way to a spectacular lookout, hear stories of the land, of the ongoing efforts to restore the native forest, and discover in stillness what you have to give. Fitness needed for 2 miles of uneven ground and moderate elevation gain. |
