California Guided Foraging Trip

InstaForager offers hands-on, nature-based experiences across Northern California, connecting guests with the land and sea through fishing, crabbing, clamming, and wild foraging. Guided by California Fish & Wildlife Licensed Guide Steve Conwell, each trip is designed to be informative, engaging, and accessible to all skill levels. Whether you're casting a line in Tomales Bay, pulling up crab traps, or searching for clams in the tidal flats, InstaForager provides all the gear and guidance you need for a productive day outdoors. We explore locations from the Pacific Ocean to the Russian River, tailoring each trip to seasonal abundance and guest interests.


In addition to time on the water, InstaForager also leads mushroom and plant foraging experiences through the forests and coastal zones of California. Our outings focus on education, sustainability, and fun—helping participants develop confidence in identifying wild edibles and learning how to harvest responsibly. These experiences offer a deeper connection to the natural world, with opportunities to cook, learn, and take home more than just memories. Whether you're in it for the fish, the fungi, or the friendships, InstaForager invites you to discover California’s natural abundance with a knowledgeable guide by your side.

Guided Foraging Trip Locations on California

California’s diverse waterways offer endless opportunities for outdoor exploration, and InstaForager is proud to guide guests through some of the most vibrant natural areas in the state. From coastal bays and creeks to inland rivers and reservoirs, our trips cover a wide range of unique habitats. Popular destinations include the productive waters of Bodega Bay, Tomales Bay, and the Russian River—each rich with seasonal catches like Dungeness crab, clams, and a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish. These locations aren’t just known for their abundance—they also showcase California’s ecological variety and offer peaceful, scenic environments to learn, harvest, and connect with the land and water.


Our meeting points are carefully selected to make your experience smooth and convenient. Depending on your chosen activity, we’ll greet you at trusted locations such as Doran Beach in Bodega Bay, Nick’s Cove in Marshall, or the Safeway in Pollock Pines. For those joining us in the Sierra foothills, we also operate out of Foresthill. These spots provide easy access to a wide range of waterways, including Clear Lake, the Sacramento River, Lake Sonoma, and dozens of creeks and sloughs across Northern California. For a full view of where we go, please refer to the map on our site.
