Our hiking tours are designed for travelers who want a deeper, more meaningful connection to the natural landscapes of the Redwood Coast. Drawing on a lifetime of local experience, we take you to the kinds of places you won’t find through a Google search or listed on a blog.

We practice interpretive guiding, a style that goes far beyond reciting facts. We don’t use a script and our focus is on storytelling, observation, and conversation. You’ll learn by engaging with what you’re seeing in real time. We highlight relationships, behaviors, and natural processes, helping you understand why the landscape looks and functions the way it does. Interpretation turns a hike into an experience: interactive, hands-on, and rooted in curiosity.

This isn’t a tour to sit back and tune out; it’s a chance to connect, ask questions, and be part of the moment.

We specialize in small private groups and always move at your pace. Our standard and seasonal offerings are well reviewed and very popular, but if it is not exactly what you are looking for we would love to create a custom program for you. Whether you’re looking for a full-day trek, a shorter 1–2 hour nature walk, or a hike focused on specific topics (eg. Wildlife, Native Edible and Medicinal Plant, Birds etc.) we tailor each outing to your comfort and interests.

We welcome all ability levels on most of our hikes, but it’s important to note that these are hiking tours. We believe that the best way we know how to connect you to the redwood coast is by walking through it, feeling it, listening to it, and being immersed in it. For that reason, we do not offer driving-only tours. If you are interested in a driving tour we will happily recommend you to one of our local partners.

Food is just as central to the Redwood Coast Experience as guiding. Humboldt has an incredible culinary identity, shaped by organic farms, local fishermen, and exceptional small-scale producers. Sharing this food culture is one of our favorite parts of what we do. Alongside our seasonal menu offerings, we love designing custom meals tailored to your tastes and dietary preferences.

From fresh-caught seafood to farm-to-table creations, our food experiences highlight the region’s bounty with care and creativity. You can enjoy a walking food tour, a hands-on cooking class, a chef-prepared meal in your home, or a beautifully curated picnic in a stunning natural setting.

We source from small local producers, coastal harvesters, and farmers we know personally. Whether it’s a family-style dinner in your vacation home, a catered beach gathering with a cozy bonfire, or anything in between, our menus celebrate the flavors, stories, and people of the redwood coast.

Enjoyed under towering trees, beside the ocean, or in the comfort of your home-away-from-home, our meals are meant to be slow, thoughtful, and enjoyed with your loved ones.

Planning a trip to Humboldt can feel overwhelming, so we offer concierge services to make your visit simple, smooth, and unforgettable. 

We provide free consultations, custom itineraries, and personalized recommendations, from activities and scenic spots to hidden gems and food experiences. For multi-day adventures, we collaborate with trusted local partners to bring your vacation vision to life.
