The Lost Coast Eco Tour heads out at 10:45 a.m. and returns at 5 p.m. throughout the week from May through October. Beginning in the quaint town of Westport, the tour heads onto unpaved territory to explore the Sinkyone Wilderness and Usal Beach. Then, led by an expert tour guide, tour-goers set out on foot on a search for wildflowers, mushrooms, and wildlife, including Roosevelt elk. Amid breathtaking scenery—which they can take in via provided binoculars—the group will refuel with a picnic lunch. Guests should expect about two hours of moderate hiking.

Each tour hosts up to eight guests, who will meet at one of two pickup locations as determined upon booking.

From art and chocolate to edible mushrooms, the guides of Mendo Insider Tours host excursions designed to pique travelers' curiosity. Having lived in the Mendocino area for years, the proprietors have used the stores of knowledge available only to locals to develop unique twists on the usual tours. For example, rather than offer yet another vineyard-hopping tour, they instead visit the home studios and workshops of notable local artists, serving snacks and beverages from award-winning and up-and-coming wineries along the way. And instead of simply pointing out the beauty that Sinkyone Wilderness State Park has to offer from the inside of a van, they lead two-hour hiking excursions across the wild region in hopes of spotting wildflowers, elk, and wine-makers nesting beneath the vines.
