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.
