Slow Adventure is a small US tour operator offering three California coast inn to inn hiking walking holidays. Owner Marie Henley began this company after 25+ years in the travel industry and much of that time she spent leading tour groups in Africa and Europe. In her spare time she volunteers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. You’ll want to book a trip just so you can meet Marie!
Review of Slow Adventure Website
Slow Adventure has a simple yet instructive site. Bird watchers will especially like their site, which provides links to local bird clubs and a list of birds and other animals in the area. They provide basic details on daily walks (no mention of elevation changes) but they do include lodging details with links.
Things to like about Slow Adventure
- Consistent 5-star reviews online (reviews are few but they’re all good)
- Awarded Best Hiking Trek by San Francisco Magazine in 2015
- Provides lodging details and some lunches are provided
- Local company run by people who are passionate about taking care of the land in which they operate
- Caters to bird enthusiasts
For all these reasons and more, Slow Adventure earns our Local Choice for California walking holidays. If you want a more luxurious option that covers the route north of San Francisco, look at Wine Country Hiking. Or DIY using the original Walkabout California who created these routes.
