No two visitors come to the Redwoods for the same reason.

My programs are for those that want to make sure they have the best experience in Redwood National Park through learning the deep ecology of Sequoia sempervirens, and ensuring to find the most significant and hard to find locations.
Led by naturalist, educator, and conservation professional Justin Legge, each private tour is customized to your interests, abilities, and goals.

Let me help you build an amazing Humboldt Redwood Coast Vacation!
Your guide to the redwoods, from the forest floor to the canopy.
Hi, I'm Justin Legge! I'm a professional naturalist, conservation specialist, and certified forest therapy guide with more than a decade of experience helping people discover the extraordinary ecosystems of Northern California's Redwood Coast.
Alongside my guiding work, I serve as Stewardship Director for Friends of the Dunes, where I help lead ecological restoration and conservation projects. My background also includes work as a U.S. Forest Service Interpretive Ranger, along with certifications as a California Naturalist, Interpretive Guide Trainer, and Wilderness First Responder.
For me, guiding is about much more than showing you beautiful places. It's about bringing the forest to life through ecology, history, storytelling, and those unexpected discoveries that make an experience truly memorable.
Every tour is personally led by me and thoughtfully adapted to your interests, abilities, and pace. Whether you're fascinated by the science of ancient redwoods or simply want to slow down and enjoy the forest, I'd love to share this remarkable place with you.
Sharing the wonder of the redwoods with the world.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of exploring these forests with journalists, filmmakers, and travelers from around the world. Here are a few stories from my guiding career that capture what I love most about sharing the Redwood Coast.

"We had an awesome experience with Justin because he is very knowledgeable about the giant redwoods and so caring and kind - and spiritual in his presentation. He is fun and energetic and was totally flexible in accommodating our family of 21. He taught us about what we could see and feel, the botany and the ecology, and also what we couldn't see - the underground connections and the history, politics, and economy of the redwoods' story. After an exhilarating hike in amazing grandeur and beauty, Justin leaves you with a new love and appreciation of our precious old growth redwoods. "
"This is the only guide we would recommend when visiting the Redwood Forrests.
Justin Legge will show you places and provide history that will make this a one of a kind experience. Justin's love for the area is infections!
We recently toured with Justin in 2022. Our friend Glenda was granted a wish of a lifetime to visit the Redwood Forrests.
Justin catered to Glenda's needs and abilities. He was the perfect guide for us!
I hope to make it back soon with my family.
Thank you for everything!
Glenda sends her love!
