I was visiting my brother in Eureka last month, and we toured the Blue Ox Millworks and Historic…read moreVillage. What an amazing place! The village is a collection of buildings relocated from other areas, and they are dedicated to types of craftsmanship. There are SO many areas in the buildings to explore! They have woodworking, ceramics, glassworks, printing, signage, weaving, blacksmithing, and other crafts. The crew even built a replica of the hearse that carried Lincoln's coffin for the memorial trip from DC to Springfield, 150 years later. They also hand-crafted a redwood table for President Clinton's Presidential Library. Because the buildings are working sites, visitors must be careful as they walk through each area. Thankfully, all the walkways are of sturdy recent construction--even the catwalk on the second floor of the main building. Tours are led by knowledgeable guides, and visitors may have the opportunity to see craftsmen at work; on our visit, there was a gentleman working on a sign for a local ballpark. He stopped what he was doing and talked through the process of converting an artist's sketch to a finished, billboard-sized sign. It was fascinating to see! The grounds are lovely and have views of Humboldt Bay from the top of the rise. There are gardens planted in various sites around the village, and it is very pretty in the spring. For a unique experience of immersion into craftworks, I definitely recommend a visit to The Blue Ox!

My most recent visit, Dungeness Crabs are in season after a delayed start! This small commerical marina actually has several docks running alphabetically, A through G - signage on the road frontage letting the passersby know what the mornings catch is and today it was our amazing local crab and our world class Kumamoto oysters, these petite beauties are a famous staple on the north coast waters here on Humboldt Bay. A marina coffeshop with restaurant are on site that has okay food and a full bar, there is also a charter house where some fishing vessels can be reserved by the hour, half day, day or longer. There is a Fisherman of the Sea memorial to all those who've made the ultimate sacrifice, working on the north coasts unforgiving and often dangerous waters. Ample parking at all the different docks. The coast guard also maintains a presence at this marina as well. The public can visit the docks and enjoy the views of old town waterfront, of the marina and Humboldt Bay out to the Pacific Ocean. A cool marina, where you can purchase freshly caught seafood right off the boat. Definately worth a visit and stop if you like fresh seafood, big commercial fishing boats, or just being on the water. 4 Stars 00669

If you are on the fence, on whether you should book this, I'm just going to tell you right now,…read more"Don't think twice and book it." This was an amazing experience, and my teenagers really enjoyed it (I think that says a lot ). If I was going to see the Redwood trees my own, I'd probably go to the first grove, take some pictures and leave, but Jim, our tour guide, took us on an amazing tour. First he told us about the history of Crescent City, where we got to see seals, pelicans, and elk in the wild! Then he took us to parts of the Redwood forest that I know for a fact that I would not have been willing to drive to or walk to. Jim stopped the van at various trees, explained the history, and helped take pictures of my family, which we don't normally get on our own. He then took us to Stout Grove for a walk and he continued to drive us around to more trees, even showing us some that were off the path that were breathtaking and unique. The lunch they provided was delicious. I cannot talk this up enough, sign up for this tour, it is so worth it!

He was beyond informative and knew so much history and just about the trees, plants and flowers in general. We had several people show us places to go for free but I am so glad we chose to do this tour instead. It was seriously worth every penny. There is no way we could have seen all the things that we saw today and gained all the knowledge that we did if we had chosen to just go sightseeing by ourselves.

After a great (pre-ordered) lunch back at camp, we went to Fern Creek Canyon for a walk. The whole day was absolutely spectacular. Grant taught us so much, with a perfect flow. We were safe, but enough ruggedness and adventure to satisfy the boys and a great sense of humor kept things light. He also shared so many great tips for the rest of our journey. Honestly, it felt like we were visiting an old friend after the first 20 minutes. He even joined us for a few minutes to show us the very best spot for wild blackberry picking at the end of the day. Definitely a highlight of our trip. We did many hikes on our own on other days, but having Grant to guide and teach us was no comparison to what we left with on this special day. Thank you Grant and Redwood Adventures for helping to create the magic on this bucket list trip I've waited 50 years to do.

I booked a coastal tour this last week and paid about $260 - which is probably higher than I wanted…read moreto pay but being a solo tour, they charged me for 1 adult and 1 child rate - which I knew going in - they claimed it was because they would "lose money" if I did not pay that amount. OK, fair enough. It was my 2nd visit to the Redwoods and this time I really wanted to get out and see some things and get more immersed in the environment. I had a female guide who was very nice. And very knowledgeable about marine life and that sort of thing. The one thing that I guess I would call a con or a negative is, the 3 hour hike is really 2 hours. They charge you for a 30 minute drive to and from the hiking location - so bear that in mind when booking. I don't like that at all, and I think that could be avoided by just having hikers meet the guide at the location - yes I understand you need to sign a waiver but that could happen on site just as easily as at the office. That part really rubbed the most as I was hoping it would be 3 hours of hiking. We spent most of the time on the beach which really wasn't what I was looking for since we were at the Redwoods but I amicably accepted that and didn't want to push back too much on the guide for that. I would say the biggest con is the value - the cost for what you get is probably not a great match. Maybe larger group hikes are better with Redwood Adventures but as a solo traveler I sort of am in a situation where I don't have much of a choice. Even at $169 or so for one adult - with 1 hour of driving - and 2 hours of hiking is maybe a bit of a stretch in price. I get the idea of having to pay a guide for 3 hours, but the customer really should be getting 3 hours of hiking and tour time IMHO. Thank you.

Since there weren't any electric bike rentals available directly inside the redwoods park, we…read moredecided to use a third-party rental company that delivered the bikes to us for $100. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm so glad we decided to do it! There was a little confusion when two people showed up with bikes for us, but that wasn't our fault. Once we got everything sorted out, the process was easy. We asked for recommendations on the best trail to take with our two-hour rental, and they pointed us in the right direction. Boy, did they deliver! The route was absolutely beautiful, and riding through the redwoods on electric bikes was such a fun experience. They also offered guided tours, which is a nice option if you prefer having someone show you around, but we chose to explore on our own, and it was perfect! My only small complaint was that when booking, we were asked if we wanted to tip the delivery driver. That felt a little strange considering we were already paying $100 for delivery. Other than that, we had a fantastic experience. The bikes were a great way to see the area, the rental process was easy, and the trail recommendation was spot-on. I would definitely recommend using them if you're looking to explore the redwoods by electric bike!

As we were the only ones on the tour that day, they adjusted to our every need. For example: *We're running late. No problem! *We're towing a trailer and parking can be a challenge. No problem! We'll hold a spot for you. *We have two late-70's seniors who haven't ridden bicycles in over 20 years. No Problem! We've got an electric tricycle for one and a lighter bike for the other. *We want to get back earlier to make it to our next destination. No problem! We can turn around and return whenever you want.
