Forest Bathing in an Artistʻs Garden

A certified forest therapy guide leads a gentle, mindful stroll through private gardens designed by the late Hawaii artist Hiroshi Tagami, including a paved switchback path that descends into a forested gully at the back of the property. Along the way, the guide offers a series of sensory "invitations" drawn from shinrin-yoku, an established public health practice in Japan, to help participants slow down and reconnect with the natural world. Tea and light refreshments are included.

After the walk, free entry into the on-site art galleries is included. Those galleries hold paintings and giclees by Hiroshi Tagami and Michael Powell, along with ceramics, sculpture, photography, and jewelry. Lonely Planet has recommended the experience as a respectful way to visit the islands.
