Floating Meditation Excursion. Travelers will be further immersed in the Island’s healing properties with an excursion to Makapuʻu Tide Pools for a floating meditation as the healing power of the ocean can provide an endless list of physical and psychological benefits. Contingent on weather and tide level, a guided journey to east Oahu, where the sun rises, provides guests with a tranquil experience where they can wash away stress and worries while floating in the pristine Pacific Ocean at the famed tide pools.
Moon Meditation. The different phases of the moon are important in native Hawaiian culture as ancient Hawaiians looked to the sky for life decisions. Moon phases affected how native Hawaiians lived out all aspects of life including agriculture, building, duties and celebrations. Guests can meditate under the moonlight at the resort and learn more about how the moon affects the mind, body and spirit.
