Secret Stairways, Storybook Streams & Ocean Views Hike

Step into a more secluded and adventurous side of Santa Monica on the Secret Stairways, Storybook Streams & Ocean Views hike. This two-hour guided tour by Garden Safaris begins with breathtaking ocean vistas before winding into a world of hidden staircases, leafy canyons, quiet forested streets, and a shady creek crossing. Along the way, guests experience the layered natural beauty and tucked-away paths that make this trail feel like a true urban escape.

Led by local guides, this small-group journey covers about four miles and includes stairs, inclines, and rolling terrain, making it ideal for active guests who enjoy a bit of adventure. Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and water are recommended, and participants should be comfortable with uphill and downhill walking.
