| HIKING: Big Sur Ecotour (Family Friendly) |
 |
Hiking in Big Sur is one of the most dramatic hiking settings in all
of California. And of all Big Sur hikes, our Big Sur Ecotour is a
classic Big Sur adventure. We explore misty redwood filled canyons,
waterfalls, rocky beaches and several intriguing historic sites, all
in the span of one day! Using our company vehicle, your guide will
drive you between the Big Sur hiking trails, leaving you free to
admire the stunning views of the coast and watch for a glimpse of the
majestic and rare California condor or perhaps even whales.
At Julia Pfeiffer-Burns State Park you will take several short Big Sur
hikes; visiting a secluded rocky cove, several historic structures and
a waterfall plunging to the sands below. Amongst these wonders your
guide will relate stories behind the scenes and lay out a gourmet
picnic lunch in a shady redwood lined canyon. Later in the afternoon
visit Limekiln State Park, where delightful Big Sur hiking trails
meander among redwoods, misty waterfalls and historic kilns.

“Richard and I just made it back home and we talked about how great the tour was all the way home! John is an extremely intelligent and informative guide and we both learned a lot during our tour. We would not have been so adventurous on our own and John provided a lot of insight into the biological make-up of the Big Sur coastline. And we absolutely LOVED our picnic lunch! We will not hesitate to recommend Central Coast Outdoors to anyone heading up your way, and we will definitely book another tour for ourselves on our next trip! Thanks for a wonderful and memorable adventure!”
