Walnut Creek Senior Travel
Our Senior Travel program has exciting opportunities for adults ages 50 and better. We’ve designed this program to meet a variety of interests and comfort levels. Take a day trip that explores a Bay Area city, like San Francisco or Santa Cruz. Pack your bags and visit a charming U.S. city on our domestic extended trips. Or take a longer vacation to international locales. Enjoy new experiences and meet new people from your community and around the world.
We will update you about new day trips and extended travel when you sign up for our mailing list.

The Año Nuevo Coast Preserve: California Wildlife at its Best!
Experience the beauty of the Año Nuevo Coast Preserve with a visit to Cascade Restaurant at Costanoa Lodge in Pescadero for a delectable brunch featuring fresh California coastal cuisine made with local, organic, and handcrafted ingredients.
Afterward, journey a bit further up the coast to witness northern elephant seals in their natural habitat within the Año Nuevo Coast Natural Preserve. Knowledgeable volunteer docents are on hand to provide insights into the park's natural and cultural history.
Depending on the season, you may observe the seals engaging in various activities, such as molting during the spring and summer months, when they come ashore to shed their outer layer of skin and fur. Tour includes van transportation, docent-led equal access wildlife viewing @ Ano Nuevo State Park, brunch @ Costanoa Lodge, and all gratuities.
We will be outside for the duration of the tour. Please wear athletic shoes and bring layered clothing as it can be quite cool on the Northern California Coast. Drive time approximate 1-2 hours each way (dep on traffic). Departure is from Heather Farm Lot 2. Level 1 walking - easy mobility with specially arranged equal access vans for transportation to the viewing location. No refunds for cancellations unless a replacement is booked.
