Notes on tours:

What sets us apart from other tour companies is our customizability! Need a different start-time because of travel plans? We should be able to make any time work. Have you already done some hiking around Prairie Creek State Park? We’ll make sure we take you on trails you haven’t hiked. Do you have accessibility/mobility issues? We can offer a hybrid van tour, where your guide can provide the same great information and experience from the comfort of one of our tour vans. Do you want to do E-Biking in the morning and Fern Canyon in the afternoon? All of our half-day tours are mix-and-match as well. If you have any additional questions or wish for something custom, please give us a call at 707-727-9266.

Want a fully private tour? We can guarantee it. But oftentimes it’s nice to combine with other groups. When the same tour books for the same day in the same time-slot, we will combine tours at our discretion. But we also understand the desire to have a fully private tour, so we always guarantee that as an option if you let us know ahead of time.

We provide a complementary lunch for all of our full-day tours. This consists of a custom, made-to-order sandwich with vegetarian/gluten free options available, a variety of snacks, drinks and sweets. If there’s something specific you’d like along with your sandwich, let us know!

Change of plans? We will provide a full refund if you cancel 72 hours before the start of your tour. If you cancel any later than that, unfortunately we will not be able to provide a refund.

WORLD’S TALLEST TREES TOUR

Join us for the Tallest Trees Tour, a guided hike through the breathtaking old-growth forests of Redwood National and State Parks, home to the tallest trees on Earth. This experience is perfect for those who want more than just a scenic walk—it’s a deep dive into the science, history, and wonder of these ancient giants.

As we wind through towering groves of coast redwoods, your guide—a trained naturalist—will share insights into the ecology and dendrology of these trees: how they grow to such incredible heights, their unique adaptations, and the complex forest ecosystems they support from roots to canopy.

Along the way, you’ll learn about the dramatic history of redwood conservation, from the height of industrial logging to the grassroots efforts that helped protect these forests, leading to the creation of the parks we hike today. You’ll come away with a richer understanding of how these forests function, why they matter, and what’s being done to ensure their survival in a changing world.

This tour can be either a half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6.5 hours).

FERN CANYON TOUR

Step into another world on our Fern Canyon Tour, a guided journey through one of the most enchanting landscapes on California’s North Coast. Nestled in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, this narrow, high-walled canyon is draped in a living tapestry of ferns and mosses, with crystal-clear water flowing along the canyon floor.

Led by one of our expert naturalist guides, you’ll learn about the fascinating natural history, geology, and ecology of this ancient canyon. Your guide will point out the many different species of ferns that cling to the sheer walls—including sword ferns, five-finger ferns, and lady ferns—as well as the wildlife and plant communities that thrive in this cool, moist microclimate.

As you walk through the creek bed (don’t worry—rain boots are provided!), you’ll understand why Fern Canyon has served as a dramatic backdrop for Hollywood. The towering green walls have been featured in Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World, BBC’s Walking with Dinosaurs, and several documentaries, making it a favorite filming location for its untouched, primeval beauty.

Part 1: The Redwood Cathedral

Your naturalist guide will lead you along a quiet trail through the ancient forest, sharing stories about the ecology, evolution, and cultural significance of these majestic trees.

TREES TO SEAS TOUR

Experience the dramatic contrasts of Northern California’s wild coast on this full-day, naturalist-led hiking adventure. This unique tour begins beneath the towering redwoods and ends at the windswept shoreline of Hidden Beach, offering a rare chance to explore both ancient forest and rugged coastline in a single day.

Part 1: Through the Redwoods

The journey starts beneath the majestic canopy of old-growth redwoods, where trees stretch hundreds of feet into the sky. As you walk through the hushed, cathedral-like groves, your naturalist guide will share fascinating insights about the ecology, history, and biodiversity of these ancient forests. Learn how coastal fog nourishes these giants, how they support entire ecosystems in their canopy, and how Indigenous cultures have long connected with this land.

Part 2: To Hidden Beach and the Pacific Coast

Leaving the forest behind, you will head to the Pacific coast, where the landscape opens to sweeping views, salt air, and the sound of crashing waves. Our destination: Hidden Beach—a secluded stretch of coastline rarely visited by crowds. Here, you’ll explore dramatic sea stacks, driftwood-strewn shores, and, if tides allow, vibrant tidepools teeming with sea stars, anemones, and hermit crabs. This coastal segment offers a chance to connect with California’s marine environment and learn about the intertidal ecosystem from your guide.

Lunch Included:

We’ll stop mid-day for a picnic lunch, featuring a hearty sandwich (with vegetarian and gluten-free options), fresh fruit, and trail snacks. Sparkling water and iced coffee will also be provided.

TIDE-POOL ADVENTURE TOUR

Many fascinating things can be found in our local tide-pools. The intertidal zones of Redwood National Park are some of the most diverse, alien, and beautiful areas to explore!

E-BIKE TOUR

Experience the magic of the redwoods from the seat of a comfortable electric bike on our Redwood E-Bike Adventure — a unique way to explore the ancient forest with ease and freedom.

Your journey begins at our tour launch-point, Elk Meadow Cabins, where we’ll start with a brief tutorial on e-bike operation and safety. From there, we’ll set off on a scenic route that winds along wide bike paths shaded by towering redwoods. The ride is gentle and serene, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, and soak in the peaceful majesty of the forest.

Our naturalist guide will share stories about the ecology and history of the redwoods as we ride beneath their massive trunks and soaring canopies. The e-bikes make hills effortless, allowing you to focus on the experience—not the workout.

If time and pace allow, we’ll hop off at the halfway point to take a short walk into a hiking-only section of old-growth forest, where you’ll stand at the base of some of the largest and oldest redwoods in the region—some over 1,000 years old.

Are you an experienced e-biker? This tour will also be perfect for you! There are many additional way-points that can be added if you are a fast rider seeking to test your skills and endurance.

We are happy to accommodate all ages and skill levels!
