Vegan picnic with rescued animals
We'll start with a tour of the sanctuary where you'll meet a variety of rescued farm animals. We'll share their stories of resilience and healing and talk a bit more about the industries they come from. You'll love meeting our animal ambassadors and may be surprised at what you learn, since we so rarely see the animals in our food system.
Join us afterwards at our picnic tables in the field for a glass of local wine and a vegan cheese and charcuterie platter. (Note: The platter contains nuts and gluten unless otherwise requested. Please inform us of any allergies when you make your booking so we can be sure to provide suitable options. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be served.)
The Experience will last approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Please be mindful that as a sanctuary for rescued animals, our priority is the physical and emotional well being of the rescued animals who call Charlie's Acres home.
Our loved animal residents are completely free and always have a choice as to whether or not they want to interact with visitors. They will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives, where we'll have the honor of taking care of them.

Crabbing under the Golden Gate Bridge
We will meet at a pier in the Marina/Presidio district of San Francisco where we will be located near the Golden Gate Bridge. The views of the water will be spectacular and because of the size of the pier we will have more than enough room to spread out and try our techniques. Make sure to arrive early so you can find parking and pay for it if need be near The Warming Hut cafe.
Once all the guests have arrived we will learn to set up the equipment we will supply with a very detailed explanation of how and why we use particular gear. Once we have set up our rods, filled our bait in our traps we will learn the different forms of casting and the technique of reeling. Because we are fishing for crab there is a different approach to how you catch crab off of a rod and reel.
We will not be allowed to take home any Dungeness crab, unfortunately, because the Bay is a protected estuary. As a result we will be catching rock & red crab which are edible and delicious crabs to take home. This experience is an all weather endeavor so rain or shine we will make it happen.
Please join me as many others have to see if spending an afternoon out on the waterfront of the bay, meeting new people and learning a skill is right for you!
Great for big groups, corporate outings and team building exercises! Please inquire directly if you have 10+ people

The SurreaL San Francisco Tour--
Fantastic Stories Told
PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT a regular walking tour.
It’s an edgy, OUTRAGEOUS, uniquely San Franciscan experience.
Have a few laughs with STORYTELLER-EXTRAORDINAIRE Clyde Always, former headliner at these local venues: the Marsh Theater, the Lost Church and Café International.
You’ll be dazzled by many of Clyde’s own modern MYTHS, LEGENDS, FABLES and FOLKLORE. Hear about witches and wisemen, hipster-emperors and ferocious beasts--bring your imagination.
If you're partial to RHYME, it's a wonderful time!
In between these zany stories, your host will be pointing out various dives, murals, coffeehouses, landmarks, shops and stunning Victorians—no shortage of GRAMMABLE PHOTO-OPS, here.
Miles away from the rest of the tourists, you’ll get some insider knowledge of three of the City’s hippest neighborhoods—the MISSION, the CASTRO and the HAIGHT.
Looking for FUN things to do and DELICIOUS things to eat? Clyde’s got the hot tips.
BE WARNED! Your host is a fast-talker and he may tell you a few phony “facts.” Take anything he says with a grain of salt.
If you’re offended by PROFANITY, soap will be provided (but bring your own water).
Scared of heights? Rest easy—the route involves NO HILL CLIMBING!
This stroll is guaranteed to ENTERTAIN, enliven and uplift both visitors and locals alike.
**Please, for PRIVATE GROUPS, DM to check availability before booking. **
Hidden Stairways of San Francisco
Please note: this walk is not at all strenuous. Obviously there's some stairs but this is done at a leisurely pace and suitable for almost everyone.
Great for families, friends and ideal for groups, company off-sites and team-building. This breathtaking 2 mile walking tour of San Francisco's hidden stairways is the #1 rated Airbnb Experience in the Bay Area, loved by both locals and tourists alike.
See gorgeous mosaic tiled steps and hear the stories behind them, then take in stunning 360° views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park and downtown San Francisco. You'll also discover beautiful neighborhoods and gardens that many locals are not aware of and that tourists rarely see.
Oh, and you might even go home with a succulent!
I'll provide commentary, context and some history along the way.
By booking this tour you are helping preserve and maintain these gorgeous stairs as I make annual donations to both projects.
Generally SF is dry May-October. There can be fog in the summertime, mostly in the morning. Temps rarely above 70F (21C) or below 50F (10C). Rain may cancel.
It will be necessary to carry small children as strollers are not suitable. If you bring a guest that’s under 18, it’s your responsibility to make sure the activities they participate in are age-appropriate.
