Tours: In addition to our daily meditations and many programs, we take our guests to Hawaiian sacred sanctuaries on land and underwater. We walk through the Po'ohonua O Honaunau (the place of refuge) to hold ceremony on a very important aspect of spiritual practice, forgiveness. We also visit the most spectacular tropical marine parks in the world. Here we invite you to snorkel in sacred bays teaming with a large variety of coral that supports a majestic community of aquatic life. We often see turtles, dolphins and whales in these bays.
Swims from boats are optional at an additional fee.

Please Note: November through April is what we call "high season" in Hawaii. Annual winter travelers and part time residents book their reservations early often taking the best fares and preferred dates. If you would like to join us during these times, be sure to book your reservations early!! Remember most airlines have
travel insurance if something comes up and you are not able to use your pre-paid ticket.

Meals: Three deliciously balanced gourmet, mostly vegetarian, meals are provided each day, beginning with dinner the first evening and ending with breakfast the last day. We also include fresh local fish
throughout the week. We also cater to those with dietary requirements to support your wellness. The meals are prepared with organic products and balanced to provide nourishment and stamina.
Healthful and yummy deserts are also offered.
