This is an opportunity to stay in the only "cloud forest" in the USA! Unlike rainforests that are typically muggy and humid, cloud forests are at cooler elevations and often shrouded in a dreamlike mist. You are surrounded by a lush Hawaiian forest featuring awapuhi, heliconia, orchids, guava, avocado, and lehua.
