What People Are Saying
★★★★★
“Extremely happy that I happened upon Beasts of the Bay Tours. As a long time resident of SF, I am always in the park searching for wildlife, but not in the evenings.. This Twilight tour gave me the opportunity to search and observe , owls and coyotes ( when most active.) as well as other wild residents of the park. , Dave also reacquainted me with much of the Golden Gate Park History. Extremely knowledgeable, and totally engaging, Dave is the perfect host…Take a Twilight Walk on The wild side with Dave…. I guarantee you will not be disappointed…Looking forward to my next.”

“I've lived in the Bay Area for 12 years and this was the first time I even thought to take a tour of Golden Gate Park. Dave was an amazing tour guide and knew so much about the Park and what lives there. We saw so much amazing wildlife and learned a lot about this beautiful park. We would highly recommend this tour!”

“Our Twilight Tour with Dave exceeded our expectations! He was so knowledgeable about Golden Gate Park, and everything he said we would see, we saw—and more! Including owls, coyotes, cormorants, herons, and hummingbirds. He even shared some fun lore about the park with us 😉 It’s a great opportunity to get to know GGP’s creatures and critters more intimately, and there are so many good photo opportunities for the photographers out there. Would (and have been!) recommend to anyone!”
