Who books private events?

Teams, client groups, birthday groups, families, retreats, friend groups, and public-class groups that want their own date or format book private events.

Where do private events happen?

Events happen around Bay Area parks, trails, coastlines, Tomales/Bodega-style coastal locations, and sometimes on a client's own land or private property. The exact location depends on season, weather, tides, terrain, group size, and guide availability.
