We couldn’t have enjoyed our one hour ride today with Susan and Matthew more than we did. My 10 year old had had a bad prior trail ride experience and he came out of this one beaming. Susan is clearly a gifted horsewoman and has assembled a well trained and cared for herd. We can’t thank her enough for the enjoyable morning.

Tomales Point Trail

Reviewed By tinaNtravel - San Jose, United States

This is a fairly easy trail to hike. It starts at an old Ranch area, which is rather interesting, in itself, to walk around and look inside the buildings. You then walk on the trail with stunning views of the ocean and cliffs almost the entire hike. No worries, there is plenty of land between the trail and the cliff edge. There are herds of elk on both sides of the trail and they are apparently quite used to people – as they didn’t seem the least bit worried, in particular the males with the full antlers. One mail elk was standing on the trail and we had to make a wide circle around it, as it didn’t seem the least bit interested in moving. We also had the luck of seeing a coyote not too far from the trail, which was a nice treat too. Near the end of the trail, it becomes a little more challenging, as the path is mostly soft sand and you need to hike that uphill. But it’s worth the hike to see the views from the top of the hill and all the seabirds on the rocks below. Be sure to bring a mask, as it was crowded the day we were there. Also, bring a jacket, as it could get quite cold against the ocean. Also note that there are no restrooms along the trail. If you arrive and need to go to the restroom, you can walk or drive down to the lower parking lot, downhill to the left of the old Ranch house area.

Our colleagues from Europe visit each spring for a collaboration session with those in the US. This time we decided to have more team building and less work content. We wanted a place where we had to focus on each other more and have our nose buried in computers less. The place is a bit rustic, but well maintained. No tv or other distractions. They have a large activity field with a volleyball court, basketball court and horseshoes, all overlooking Tomales Bay. The food was farmed local and tasted fantastic. The entire staff was amazing, helpful and friendly. We had wind storm one day which caused a power outage. The staff didn't miss a beat getting us needed lanterns. The rest of the meeting went on as planned. I highly recommend this place for team building, or simply visiting on your own. I will definitely return.
