About this experience
You do not just experience one of the best hikes just for the locals in Big Bear Lake, but after the hike, relax on our private dock at Pine Knot Marina and enjoy the sunset with a complimentary bottle of champagne. I also include sugar-free sodas if there are children going on the hike. Hiking in Big Bear Lake is even more fun with a local nature guide who can explain some of the region's flora and fauna. This is one of the most scenic hikes in Big Bear Lake, with epic lake views.
What's included
Included
- Bottle of champagne for every two people booked

What you'll see and do
Big Bear Lake
We will meet in the Knickerbocker parking area and hike up into the forest. We will hike up the dirt road into the forest and enjoy spectacular views of the lake. This particular trail is an advanced to moderate hike, everything is difficult in the beginning. If you are interested in making the hike easier before the sunset and champagne on the dock, please feel free to inquire about that.

Amber took us on a wonderful hike and we ended it with a sunset on a boat. She is so knowledgeable about plants and history of the whole Big Bear Lake area! We girls highly recommend!!!!!

No snow but beautiful.
I went in December and there was no snow but my experience was wonderful. Because Big Bear with snow or without snow is beautiful. We ate at teddy bear and all super rich.

Feeling like a local
The hike with Amber was AMAZING and something we are so glad we did so early on in our trip. It’s our first time in Big Bear and having someone like Amber to show us around was amazing (we were able to get recommendations for where to go for water activities etc). The hike had so many incredible look out points and Amber was great at pointing out the things that made Big Bear unique. We will definitely be coming back in the winter to do other tours with Amber! Also her baked goods were A+ (We got the cookies and chocolate muffins) Sitting in the boat watching the sunset was so peaceful. Amber gave us some time alone and it was incredibly romantic. We feel like we got a little taste of what it’s like to be a local in Big Bear.
Response from the operator: Thank you so, so much for the lovely review. I'm so glad you guys had a great time and enjoyed the baked goods. If you could also share this review on the Airbnb app that would be amazing for my small business.

Best way to watch the sunset in the mountains
Wow what a hidden gem we found in this hiking experience! This was my first time booking a TripAdvisor experience and was thrilled with what a score we found. Our guide took us on such a beautiful hike with the best view of Big Bear Lake. She took photos of my husband and I nice enough to frame. Enjoying the champagne on her boat in the harbor afterwards was such a zen way to watch the sunset.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Bear.
How much does Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Bear usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Bear is not rushed.
Is Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Bear, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Bear can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Bear and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Hiking Tour in Big Bear with Sunset Champagne toast on Private Dock start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Bear within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Bear?
+
Big Bear, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Big Bear by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Big Bear experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Family-Friendly Nature Hike around the Big Bear Valley, Big Bear Jeep off-road tour with Hike to Bluff Lake Reserve, A Local's Favorite Hike in Big Bear with Lake Swimming Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Bear?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Big Bear, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Bear?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
