Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for the strenuous all-day hikes? Would it be suitable for a fit 17-year-old?

A: Yes, a fit 17-year-old can definitely join the all-day hikes! The experience is designed for adults 18 and up, but as long as your teen is in good shape and ready for a challenge, they should be fine. Just make sure they bring plenty of water and snacks, and they’ll have a blast exploring the trails with Joel.

Q: Do you know if they offer any rescheduling options if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, they do allow rescheduling in case of bad weather! If it’s not safe to go out, you can easily contact them to pick a new date. Just be sure to check their policy when booking for full details.

Q: What should we wear for the hike? Is it pretty casual?

A: Casual and comfy is the way to go! Sturdy shoes are a must, especially if you're doing the all-day hike. Layers are a good idea too, as the weather can change quickly. And definitely bring a hat and sunscreen if you're going during the day!

Just did the Nature Walk near Disneyland and it was AMAZING!

I took the 3-hour nature walk with Barefoot Joel last weekend, and wow, it was such a fun experience! We explored the woodlands and saw a ton of wildlife—deer, all sorts of birds, and even a few snakes! Joel was super knowledgeable and made it interesting for everyone. Such a cool way to escape the theme park chaos, honestly. I’m thinking of gifting this to my parents for their anniversary!

Considering this hike for my son’s birthday! Any tips?

My son is turning 12 soon, and I'm looking at the moderate hike option. He loves nature and exploring, but I’m not sure if it’s challenging enough for him. Has anyone done this with kids around that age? What was it like?
