Cannot more highly recommend! I booked a private hike as an anniversary surprise, and Cypress went absolutely above and beyond. The communication was terrific throughout. We learned so much about San Diego history and of course plants and animals. Cypress customized the experience to end with a surprise sunset picnic to cap off an unforgettable celebration. We will absolutely be booking more in the future! - Josh J.
My brother-in-law and I had a great time exploring Garnet Peak with Cypress. She was very insightful on the nuances of the local flora and fauna along the trail, way beyond the basics. She was also a pleasure to work with in preparation for the hike that was based on her recommendation. Was a awesome experience and would recommend her for the beginner and experienced naturalist. - David N.
