Naturalist-Led Tours of Muir Woods
Colin Sloan's 20 years of experience brings alive hidden wonders missed on self-guided walks. Using multi-sensory tactile techniques, sights, sounds and smells expand your awareness of Muir Woods National Monument. Although 80% of Muir Woods is covered in evergreen growth, seasonal variations unseen by others become visible in the redwood habitat.

The Peace of the Ancient Redwoods
Slowing down to nature's pace, flowers, rocks and animals show up in personal contacts on the trail. Tours are scheduled away from crowds to heighten the quiet solitude of the Muir Woods.
John Muir's words: "This is the best tree-lover's monument that could possibly be found in all the forests in the world" last for years as you absorb a naturalist-led tour of Muir Woods.

We're sorry, but pets cannot accompany their owners on tours.
Fees by Donation
After 20 years of commercial nature tour operations, all payment for A Day in Nature tours changed to a "donation basis" in 2007. To get customers' attention about the state of our Earth, donations seem to be the best way to show that A Day in Nature "walks the talk"—reaching out to share nature with as many people as possible.
