We've been wanting to visit for years and finally had a chance. We took the VIP 10am tour with Zane, and had extended family from ages 72 to 9. We all thoroughly enjoyed learning about the animals, riding in the vintage Land Rover and feeding the giraffes. Zane is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and our elementary school age daughters were impressed that he could answer all but one of their numerous questions! We were really fortunate to have traveled to Kenya for a safari - seeing the animals again brought back wonderful memories. This preserve is well organized and well kept. Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful preserve!

Memorable experience of horse riding on a deserted beach as inexperienced riders. Tobi and Nancy were very attentive - sharing fun facts about horses and the local coast. The horses were gentle. The scenery was spectacular. My 13 year old daughter loved it. Highly recommended.

I am an experienced rider and have ridden at many rental stables all over the world. I had an amazing time riding with Emily over 2 days in Fort Bragg, maybe the best I've experienced. Here's what you need to know: 1) The horses are really well cared for. Emily manages the farm guides many of the rides. She knows the horses well and is tuned in to which horses will suit which riders, which horses might be having a bad day and need a day off, etc. Some of the best cared for horses I've seen at a rental stable. They are fresh, not sour, and will move out when asked. 2) They are prepared to accommodate riders of all experience levels, and can provide an exciting experience for confident riders. Emily will assess your skill level and allow long trots and canters if you're up to it. However, if it's been a while since you've ridden, try a short ride first to get back into it, then discuss the option of a longer ride with a faster pace. 3) If you're not sure what you want or are ready for, call and ask. Emily is super friendly and prepared to be as flexible as possible to provide you with a great experience. 4) Be understanding. Horses have minds of their own and as such your experience may vary. In addition you are sometimes at the mercy of the weather, so be prepared to be flexible and allow time in your schedule to do so, depending on season. Summer is pretty dry in this part of the world, but spring and winter it's possible to be rained out. Such a great experience! I live just a few hours away and will certainly be back. I did an all day ride in the forest and a 3-hour beach ride as well and both were just amazing. I rode Murphy, and I loved her! I certainly got my money's worth, with both rides including long stretches of trot and canter. I think Murphy got some good exercise those days. Lots of carrots, as well.

The bottom of this tremendous redwood tree has been hollowed out so that cars can drive through it.
Reviewed By Hexy - Gloucester, United States
After a friendly greeting from the cashier, we paid $10 and drove through an amazing stretch of the Redwood forest. Seeing these old, huge trees was so great and that alone was worth the small fee. Driving through the Chandelier Tree is unforgettable! Our rental car was a Nissan Altima and fit through easily. There are clean bathrooms and a really nice gift shop with pleasant staff. We loved it!
