Read More- Steven SBest guide ever! Kelly is passionate about plants, the environment, and has an absolute love of being in nature. He's turned a big chunk of wild, mixed cloud forest into the best walkable (mildly rough terrain) tour anywhere. He recycles people's old decorative plants, trims just enough for you to clearly see ferns, palms, gorgeous flowers, ficus trees (just the best!) and so much more, and he's an excellent photographer. He helped make photos of us for our tour. He's met so many famous people, been all over the world, and definitely knows his plants and stories. We had a great time! Small groups only, very personal. Eat before you go, and bring some water if you need it. Great value, because you'll never forget it. Super close to Kona, yet 100% different from what you've seen. Best place for photographers, and selfie heaven because everything is strikingly beautiful, and you'll be right up close to all of it. He had a cool cat too, and cute house (random note). I can't wait to see ...
- Donna KHowever great you think this walk will be, in reality it's 5000 times better. You'll end your walk already planning your next visit back to it. Kelly takes you on an interactive information-packed tour on maintained trails through an ancient forest of giant trees and plants that make it easy to imagine you've traveled back to prehistoric time. Kelly has lived on the property for decades and shares facts and wonderful engaging stories about the plants and animals as he leads you along the trail. Kelly is a story teller and his passion and love for the forest and land is contagious. The tour is appropriate for adults and kids. The cloud forest is easy to find and parking is easy. I highly recommend it!
- david aBest Kept secret in Kona and the Big Island. You might think you need to go to the Hilo side to see tropical forest, wrong, this beautiful cloud forest with otherworldly plants and trees is only 20 min from downtown Kona. Kelly has been guiding tours on the Island for years but this tour is fairly new. However the forest is very old and this will someday be destination as it becomes more well known. It was a highlight for our entire family. Kelly really knows his stuff he is five star. And I am a naturalist myself. He not only is a great guide but he bought this land over many years and put it in a trust to protect cloud forests which are incredibly beautiful and rare. And he knows ever inch of it. We loved this tour, and cant wait to return. Thank you Kelly.
