Guided Tours
Local Secrets I Real Adventures
Ready to get outside and soak up some nature? Our single-day tours take you to Northern California’s most jaw-dropping spots. Think hiking under giant redwoods, biking along epic coastal trails, or paddling peaceful waters—it’s all about moving your body, clearing your mind, and feeling that deep connection to the outdoors (and each other).
Led by Kristy Appleton (that’s me!), a local guide who’s all about uncovering the hidden gems, these adventures are more than just a day out—they’re your chance to hit reset and find a little magic in nature.
Want a private, customized adventure for your crew? I’ve got you! Or, if you’re here for something more low-key, check out our free weekly hikes for women. They’re casual, fun, and the perfect way to meet some amazing new friends. Details for the hikes are in our private Facebook group—come join the fun!
