Walk through the amazing Redwood forest. There are many trails to choose from. You can also do the Redwoods tree walk which is absolutely spectacular. Go into the Redwoods at night and see the Trubridge installation. These a giant lights make by artist David Trubridge. For those who like a little adventure drive further down the main road in the Redwoods until you come to a large hill that is closed off (you can bike up here to get to Mt Biking tracks), walk quietly up and the hill and on the left hand side of the road you’ll see a lovely display of glow worms.
