From yoga and painting to playing bocce on the lawn, there are a variety of group activities offered at Cavallo Point’s Healing Arts Center & Spa.

Yoga

Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that helps achieve balance by connecting the body, breath and mind. A typical yoga routine combines physical postures, called asanas, with breathing techniques and meditative practices. Goals often include stress reduction and physical fitness. Classes are led by experienced and accredited yoga instructors. Each class is one hour long; mats and props (as needed) are provided. Classes are suited to all students unless otherwise noted.

We offer private hikes for our guests and we can customize routes for a group. The following are six recommended hikes that begin and end here at Cavallo Point.

More of a stroll than a hike, you will be led under a grove of eucalyptus trees and to the retired Battery Yates along the coastline. This simple yet serene trek leads you up into the hills behind Ft. Baker and down into Horseshoe Cove, providing picturesque views of the military post, Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay. Experience a piece of Marin’s natural beauty without the workout.

Distance: 2 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Easy
Time: Approximately 1 hour (roundtrip)
Price: $200 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

Hike under the Golden Gate Bridge up to Battery Spencer overlooking the ocean side of the San Francisco Bay. Built in 1897 as part of the Harbor Defense of San Francisco, Battery Spencer was a concrete coastal gun battery for the U.S. Coastal Artillery. Now retired, this battery serves as a lookout point with some of the best views you can get of the Bridge and San Francisco. 

Distance: 3 miles
Difficulty: Low moderate
Time: Roughly 1.5-2 hours (roundtrip)
Price: $250 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

Saunter amongst California’s Golden Poppies as you take the Coastal Trail up into the Marin Headlands. This hike is the launching point from Ft. Baker to the many trails scattered throughout the headlands. Roundtrip, this hike can take up to 2.5 hours, but may be longer if you decide to venture farther. Take a camera for nice views of San Francisco and the rest of the Bay.

Distance: 3 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Time: Approximately 1.5-2 hours (roundtrip)
Price: $250 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

Kirby Cove nestles at the foot of the Marin Headlands just west of the Golden Gate Bridge. From Ft. Baker, the hike up Conzelman Road and down through a grove of cypress, eucalyptus, and pine to the beach takes a little over an hour. At the cove, find a pristine wedge of coarse-sand beach with a fabulous view of the Bridge and northern San Francisco. 

Distance: 4.5 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Low moderate
Time: Approximately 2-2.5 hours (roundtrip)
Price: $300 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

Connect to this amazing peak from the Coastal Trail and see some of the best views of the Marin Headlands, San Francisco, the Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. Walking from Cavallo Point, it can take anywhere from 1-2 hours to reach the lookout. Despite its name, this trail is hardly for “slackers” as the last half mile boasts a steady incline — but the vistas make the journey worth it!

Distance: 4-4.5 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Time: Approximately 2-3 hours (roundtrip)
Price: $350 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

At the peak of elevation, you will be rewarded (weather permitting, of course) with amazing views of the valley, Rodeo Beach, and the powerful Pacific Ocean.

Distance: 8.5-10 miles

Time: Approximately 5 hours (roundtrip)
Price: $4000 for up to 6 people; above 6 people is $20 per person

Wellness Hikes

Hypnotherapy can play a major role in supporting optimum health. A reliable method to quiet the mind and reduce constant “brain chatter”, it creates a tranquil space where new perspectives can be recognized and developed. Group members learn how to use the tremendous power of imagination to be the architect of their lives and uncover answers that have long been buried in the subconscious.
