Forest bathing at the Beach by Boat
Go Forest Bathing and Sand Dollar Boat Tours offer forest bathing wellness programs on the beach in the Ten Thousand Islands. Guests depart from San Marco Marina in Goodland for a 20-minute boat ride to a barrier island. The 90-minute nature-based forest bathing includes immersive experiences with the sand and water.
Forest bathing was established in Japan, where it is called shinrin-yoku. It has been proven to have physical and mental health benefits such as helping with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep, cardiovascular and respiratory issues, and immune function.
