Collage of the winter adventures: a toddler with a chestnut basket on a trail, a family at a waterfall, a yellow banana slug, a group under a giant redwood, and a bucket of chestnuts.

Winter Bundle: Chestnuts, Waterfalls + Redwoods

from $162.00

All three winter day trips in one purchase, with a guaranteed spot at each: chestnuts in October, waterfalls in December and redwoods on MLK Day.

Oct. 25, Dec. 13 and Jan. 18

Your whole winter season, planned for you and your family — with our signature outings! 🌰💦🐌

We have so much FUN on these adventures — they sell out every year — so this season we're capping numbers and prioritizing families who choose the bundle option first. One purchase here secures your family's spot at all 3 outings below — no need to visit each outing's individual page or buy anything else. Bundle families get priority booking and guaranteed spots, and your family saves $30 compared to booking each one separately at today's rates.

🌰 10/25 — Chestnut Collecting, Chestnut Honey Tasting, Golden Fall Leaves, Lake Hike + Optional Pizza Dinner (La Honda Area)
💦 12/13 — Winter Waterfall Wonderland, Ladybug Love, Leopard-Spotted Banana Slugs + Fungi Hunt (South Bay)
🐌 1/18 — MLK Day: Banana Slug Bonanza, 1,700-Year-Old Redwood + Ancient Ocean Rocks (Peninsula)

✅ WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU BUY:

This is your only checkout — you're done! You do not need to purchase anything on the individual outing pages. Closer to each date, you'll get:

  • digital guide — one for each of the 3 outings, sent separately as that date approaches.

  • a separate WhatsApp invite for each adventure

  • any adventure-specific details (like the Alice's Restaurant headcount for food after chestnut collecting as well as for MLK Day)

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN EACH ADVENTURE

A quick taste of what's ahead — full details for each adventure are on individual listing pages, linked below.
