Slow down with a guided forest bathing walk for stress relief
3 Hours
Guide-led walk, Yoga mat
Explore the woods at an easy pace and use all your senses to connect more deeply with the forest. Your guide leads simple activities designed to quiet the mind and support stress management.
Ages 16+; guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. You’ll be asked to leave your phone behind or keep it off/airplane mode during the experience, and you may be invited to walk barefoot in warmer season. Guide tips are recommended at 10% (bring cash if you’d like to tip).
Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or extreme situations (reschedule also offered). Cancel 10+ days prior: refund less a per-person fee ($15 for 2–4 hr tours, plus tour booking fee if applicable). No refunds or reschedules with less than 10 days notice.
Wear comfortable walking shoes with good tread and dress in layers for the weather; bring water and consider a small backpack, a light snack, a notebook and pen, insect repellent, and a rain jacket. Bring a yoga mat if you prefer your own (one is provided if you don’t).
Walk at a slow, relaxed pace for about a mile or less over alternating terrain with roots, rocks, and leaves. Expect gentle hills and shallow stream crossings; a hiking pole or stick can help, especially if it’s wet.
Sign a Liability Release Form before you participate. You must be at least 16; if you’re under 18, you must come with an adult and have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian (if the parent is not present, bring a photocopy of the parent’s driver’s license with the signed waiver).
High Rock Adventures/Hocking Hills Ecotours main office off Opossum Hollow Road, address included below.
With a perfect track record across hundreds of reviews, this family-run operation consistently delivers memorable outdoor adventures in the Hocking Hills area. Jason and his wife, along with guides Aaron and Kayce, get praised repeatedly for their patience, safety focus, and genuine passion for what they do. The guides aren't just skilled at climbing and rappelling instruction—they're also nature educators who share fascinating insights about local plants, geology, and ecosystems throughout each adventure. First-timers with height anxieties report feeling completely safe and supported, while experienced adventurers appreciate the unique rock formations on the private property. The Rock Challenge and rappelling tours are especially popular, drawing families and couples who want something beyond the typical tourist experience. Reviewers consistently mention feeling like more than just customers—the personal, down-to-earth approach makes each group feel special. The owner Steve gets specific recognition for flexibility with rescheduling due to weather. While one visitor mentioned an uncomfortable political conversation from a guide, the overwhelming consensus is that these adventures are approachable for all skill levels (ages 6+) and represent the highlight of many Hocking Hills trips.
I would HIGHLY recommend going rock rappelling at High Rock Adventures!! My boyfriend and I have never been so this was our first time doing something like this and it exceeded our expectations! Our guides, Martin and Casey were amazing!! They were so laid back, nice and funny and really made the group laugh and feel comfortable! The rocks were challenging and definitely made me overcome a fear of just letting myself go backwards but I loved every second of it. We had so much fun, I wish we could’ve done it twice!! The views were amazing, the rocks were so pretty and it was just a great time overall :)
