When it comes to meaningful gifts, more people are choosing experiences over physical items—and for good reason. Experiences create memories, foster connection, and often leave a lasting impact long after the moment has passed. At Gunstock Ranch, experience-based gifts offer something even deeper: the chance to give back to the land while creating a lasting legacy.
One of the most powerful experience gifts available is the Hawaiian Legacy Eco-Tour and Tree Planting. As emissions rise and many people wonder how they can reduce their carbon footprint, tree planting remains a simple yet impactful way to fight pollution and contribute to a healthier planet. When you plant a tree in Gunstock Ranch’s Legacy Forest, you’re not only supporting environmental restoration—you’re participating in a meaningful cultural experience.
During the eco-tour, guests explore the ranch with knowledgeable guides who share the history of Hawaiian land stewardship and explain how each planted tree contributes to healing the local ecosystem. The tour provides the opportunity to see native wildlife, grazing cattle, and sweeping ocean views before arriving at the planting site. Each tree is planted in a memorable, personalized ceremony, creating a special and unique moment tied to a greater purpose.
The Hawaiian Legacy Tour requires the additional purchase of each native tree you would like to plant. Each tree costs $120, with funds going directly to the non-profit Hawaii Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI) for the ongoing care and health of the forest. Every tree is trackable and linked to the planter through proprietary GPS technology, allowing you to follow its growth over time. The experience also includes a special dedication and e-certificate, making it a meaningful way to honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion.
Unlike traditional gifts, this experience leaves a lasting, measurable impact. It creates a memory, supports sustainability, and contributes to a forest that will give back to the earth and the community for decades to come. When you choose an experience like this, you’re giving more than a moment—you’re giving purpose and creating a legacy.
