Alaska Nature Immersion offers Forest Therapy in the beauty of the Alaskan Wilderness. This practice, inspired by Japanese Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing), provides you with a transformative experience to promote healing and wellness through immersion in the forest, fostering a deeper connection to nature. We aim to facilitate moments of mindfulness, gratitude and rejuvenation, allowing you to tap into the restorative power of the natural world. The tour takes place in the sanctuary of Haines, Alaska, where mountains rise high from the coastal fjords, the oceans teem with wildlife and rivers flow from glacial waters. Your Forest Therapy Guide is certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. You will be fully immersed in the healing energy of the forest by connecting deeply with your senses. Forest Therapy is more than a simple walk in the woods; it's a journey of self-discovery, a meditation in motion and communion with nature.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Forest Therapy Tour? Can kids participate?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but it's recommended for ages 12 and up due to the nature of the experience. Kids younger than that can join if a parent or guardian accompanies them and they can handle some gentle walking and mindfulness activities. Just keep in mind that it's all about the experience of being in nature and connecting with it.

Q: What should I wear for the Forest Therapy Tour? Is it muddy in Haines?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. The forest floor can be muddy, especially after rain. Dress in layers since the weather can change quickly in Haines – a waterproof jacket is a good idea. Bring a light backpack for your snacks and water, too!

Q: What happens if the weather's bad? Do they cancel the tour?

A: If the weather is really bad, yes, they may cancel or reschedule to keep everyone safe and comfortable. But if it's just a little rain, they usually go ahead with the tour. They'll notify you if anything changes, so make sure to check your email before heading out.

Looking to gift the Forest Therapy Tour in Haines – thoughts?

I'm thinking about gifting the Forest Therapy Tour to my partner for her birthday. We've both been feeling super stressed and I think this could be a great way to unwind together. The idea of connecting with nature in Alaska sounds amazing, especially with the local tea and snacks at the end! Has anyone done this? Is it really as relaxing as it sounds?

Anyone else think this Forest Therapy Tour is worth it?

I saw the listing for the Forest Therapy Tour in Haines and I’m intrigued but also hesitant. It’s free, which is great, but I wonder if it'll feel rushed or if the guide really gives you the time to enjoy the moment. Anyone have experience with this? How long does the tour usually last?
