This was the highlight of our trip! My daughter had been gifted a tree for her 21st birthday so we decided to visit it and also plant a family tree. The tour guides were amazing and so knowledgeable. We were able to pick out our tree that we then went and planted. The whole family participated in the planting from digging the hole to finally watering it in. The experience was like a Hawaiian ceremony, something we will always remember. We had the gps co ordinates for my daughters tree and we boarded the atv and found it with no trouble. We headed to the lookout and overlooked the forest and out to the sea. I have never felt more at peace and one with nature. …

Our tour (myself, husband & 23 yr old daughter) was pretty focused on walking to the planting area, planting and then walking back. The area was beautiful and the purpose of Hawaiian Legacy Tours is important and worthwhile. Unfortunately, we didn't have the more informative or learning experience that others have had in the reviews. Our guide was enthusiastic, but this was the first tour she had done after joining the HLH team four months previously.…

AWESOME! The tour far exceeded our expectations, we were surrounded by new Koa Forest growth, the sound of nature and a feeling of rebirth of Mother Earth was a fitting outing for our Hawaiian vacation.

This tour was amazing. Our tour leader Richard, was knowledgable, enthusiastic and a true believer in the cause. This was so much more than a tour. It was a revelation about a little known piece of Hawaii’s history. We learned about the disappearance of the koa forests in Hawaii and Legacy’s goal of bringing back the forests. The ride through an old Ohio forest up the slopes of Mauna Kea to and through the former pasture land being replanted was exhilarating. The site Richard chose for our trees was gorgeous and the view from there, 5000 feet up Mauna Kea was breathtaking. Thank you, Richard, for a memorable experience and thank you, Hawaiian Legacy, for the work you are doing.…

Mahalo for sharing about your tour. We are always happy to educate our guests in addition to providing a memorable tree planting experience. As the trees grow, so will the endemic birds and insects of the forest. Thank you for being an important part of our reforestation efforts.

This was a great experience on many levels. Patrick was our guide and we learned so much about island flora and fauna, island history, Hawaii culture as well as had the opportunity to contribute 3 trees to the reforestation project and dedicate them to some people we lost this year. Patrick was great, very personable and took pride in the project and his extensive knowledge of Hawaiian history and agriculture. Very nice to have a guide who is passionate about his subject and not all jaded by the tourism business. We will definitely be back to plant some more!…
