We'll start by foraging through the farm to make a diverse "goat salad." We'll walk through the garden, stop to admire the beehives, and then feed and pet our mini horses, adorable Babydoll sheep, and silly goats. Once our animals have had their salads, The Farmhouse Kitchen at The Nest Box (MEHKO permit #PT0501239) will treat you to a light seasonal farm picnic. Following your fresh farm treats, we'll step in with the chickens and ducks. We'll feed them organic hen scratch and farm greens, if available. We'll watch them happily scratch around and quack and coo, and you can hold and pet them if you’d like too. While they’re scratching around, we’ll step into the coops to check for eggs, then we'll visit with our rambunctious pigs and Harper, our sweet Jersey cow. We'll finish our experience with a calm and relaxing visit with our bunnies and guinea pigs. We'll feed and pet these sweet and soft fur balls. All along the experience, you will learn fun facts about our diverse plant and animal family, and you’ll leave with a seasonal farm gift. Other things to note: Wear comfortable closed-toed walking shoes and clothes you don't mind possibly getting a bit dirty. Boots and long pants are ideal. *Great for teams and team-building too!

We strive to integrate the natural wisdom of the llama with the cultural heritage of this intelligent creature by relating knowledge of the Andean cosmology and the Andean spiritual path.

Safety is always top priority for guests and the llamas, so our program will be different on a winter day after a rainy week than it will be on a hot August afternoon. Please wear comfortable shoes and country clothing. We will put you into situations where you will be able to understand who these llamas are, personally discovering the different personalities that make up our herd. Other things to note We will introduce you to our "Speechless Brothers". Be prepared to learn all about llamas. They are smart, clean and personable. Let them know you are as well.

This trip is 1 hour and 15 minutes. It is great way to experience Monterey Bay from the water. If you would like to spend more time on the water, look into booking a private experience on one of our keelboats. During this experience, we will enjoy a short harbor tour for a chance of sighting sea otters, seals and sea lions. After exiting the harbor, we will set sail and enjoy cutting through the water with no engine noise! This is an eco-friendly and exciting way to see Monterey Bay and a piece of the Pacific Ocean. We serve a complimentary alcoholic beverage to passengers over 21, and we have non-alcoholic options too! Although we cannot guarantee marine mammal sightings, we frequently see seals, sea lions, sea otters, and sometimes whales and dolphins! Also know, you can save $10 per ticket by booking through our Sail Monterey office or website.

Beginner Surfing l is our popular 2.5-hour group surf clinic. So what will you be learning? This clinic was designed with the beginner in mind – we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing on their own for a while and still need help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching waves! There will be a short land-lesson to start, and after that we'll head out to catch some waves. You'll get approximately 1:30-2 hours of "water time" in the 2.5-hour class. Maximum ratio of 4 students per instructor. FAQ: Why are some of these class times SOOO early?! Answer: When it comes to surfing, mother nature sets a lot of the rules - that's what makes it such a unique sport. If we don't go on the right tide, we won't get any waves! While those early morning sessions might be hard to wake up for, they are also truly magical. Great surf conditions, no wind, no crowds - it is about as epic as it gets. If you make the commitment go early, we can promise you'll be rewarded with the experience of a lifetime!

Thanks for looking at my listing! We will meet at my gem and mineral shop Yosemite Crystals in downtown Mariposa, and then caravan (drive your own car about 4.5 miles to my private patented gold rush mine/private property. The creek is located very close to the entrance of the property. No hiking Some years our spring-fed creek runs year round. Other years when the creek dries up (as do most california creeks which are seasonal) we bring the river to you by running the same sluice boxes with pumps in water troughs. Crystals are in the creek and you KEEP WHAT YOU FIND GOLD/CRYSTALS!!!! We even give u a gold vial to keep your gold in! Part of the reason i have almost 200 five star reviews is because my goal is 100 transparency and satisfaction! We supply all the tools and pans and you get to keep all the gold you find! My goal is to teach you how to prospect/pan/hrlp you find amazing crystals in the creek.. so you can go off and be able to find gold anywhere. For many this is a bucket-list experience and I get that too...I always tell people that I wish I was able to learn how to pan for gold on a real gold mine in gold country! I love meeting new people and look forward to meeting your group for the 2 HOUR TOUR! Feel free to contact me with questions before booking! Daniel

We will see an amazing variety of wildlife on Monterey Bay from the comfort of a private 53' sailing yacht.

Take a break from the rigors of Yosemite hiking and take a relaxing stroll through our orchard. Learn about what makes our 19 varieties of apples so special (and why you probably don't want to eat them), a brief history of American cider, some slightly embellished tales about the local wildlife, and some jokes that will either make you laugh or groan, depending on the weather. Then kick back at our tasting room to enjoy some bar games, beautiful views and a meet and greet with some really nice dogs and some really goaty goats. Oh, and cider of course. You'll get to drink cider. One sip, and you'll understand why call it "Campfire Champagne."

Once in the water you'll be guided through beautiful kelp forests in search of as many fascinating species as possible. I guarantee you'll see something you've never seen before!
