Forest Bathing in a Rain Forest

Forest Bathing in a Rain Forest

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are modifying our admissions policies. We will be limiting access to the grounds and facilities as well as our hours. Reservations will be required. Admission is still free. Masks are required. Hours will be limited, and visits will be limited to 2 hours. Bathrooms and the gift shop will be closed. Forest bathing is a great way to start your vacation or your new year! Forbes has named Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi's walks in the top 5 INTERNATIONAL "incredible once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences that should be on every intrepid traveler's bucket list." On your forest bathing walk, you'll be guided on a gentle, mindful stroll 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, your certified forest therapy guide will offer a series of “invitations” to help you re-connect with nature through your senses. "Forest Bathing" (translated from "shinrin-yoku," an established public health practice in Japan) is a growing global wellness movement backed by 30 years of scientific research on the physical and psychological benefits of immersing yourself in nature. See more, including recent national media coverage on forest bathing at www.forestbathinghi.com. Please bring water, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a casual backpack to hold your stuff (including a rain jacket), and walking sticks if you need them.
