Pedal a four-seat surrey through Golden Gate Park for an hour. Helmet, map, lock included. Gardens, museums, and the beach.
“One might think that this surrey ride would be a pleasant way to tour Golden Gate Park but, sadly, that is not the case.

If you are in excellent physical condition, with very strong legs and a lot of experience on a one-speed bicycle, you might find the experience enjoyable. If not, you will be better off walking.”

A small-group Twilight Wildlife Walking Tour in Golden Gate Park near Blue Heron Lake, led by Dave, with chances to spot owls and more.
“We had a great time. Dave is an excellent tour guide, explaining all about the history of Blue Heron Lake and Golden Gate Park. We took the twilight tour in hopes of seeing a great horned owl. Although we didn't see one, it wasn't Dave's fault. Right next to the spot we went to, folks were playing volleyball and were making a lot of noise, which kept the owl in the tree we were at from coming out. But when we got back to the parking lot, we were thrilled when Dave heard a female great horned owl whoo'ing to her mate. He'd seen her before in that tree so…”

“The quality of your trip is going to depend on your own attitude and preparation. Make sure you take water and maybe a snack. If you’re not used to long bike trips make sure to pace yourself.
