Overview

Take time out from San Francisco on a half-day trip to Muir Woods National Park and Sausalito.

This enthralling half-day trip takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Area's most popular National Park Monument to experience the magnificent views of the Giant redwoods during a 90' stop (entrance fee included).

Next, visit the beautiful coastal town of Sausalito, a gorgeous Mediterranean-style village with quaint shops and waterfront restaurants. If a one-hour stop in Sausalito isn't enough for you, you can extend your stay by upgrading your tour to include the Sausalito ferry back to San Francisco.

If you decide to come back by bus and are looking for possibilities to complete your other half-day, we offer you an upgraded option to save money, which includes a 4h Bike rental package from our partner Unlimited Biking (757 Beach Street, San Francisco, CA 94109). Fall in love with all San Francisco has to offer as you pedal around and explore the area at your own pace.

Loved it very relaxing strolling in the woods. Guide very informative pointing out things along the way. Gift shop expensive.

The Muir Woods were spectacular. However, I am not sure about the value provided by the tour guide other than bringing us to Muir Woods. We also didn’t get to go to the Golden Gate Bridge initially, although that is in no way the tour guides fault given the protest.

What a wonderful day! We were blessed by perfect weather (a little overcast but no rain, then some sunshine for ferry trip). Muir Woods was stunning & this tour was a really good way to see it because someone else drove the winding roads & we didn’t have to worry about parking reservations. Loved walking through the green! Then we had sufficient time in Sausalito to enjoy an ice cream & some light shopping before boarding our ferry back to San Fran. Had fabulous views of Golden Gate Bridge & Alcatraz, as well as SF skyline. The tour was prompt & comfortable. Highly recommend!

This is a shorter trip to see redwoods trees in the Muir Woods park. The winding road trip up to Muir Woods was fun. You get enough time to walk thru the close trails and you get to see lots of big redwood trees. There are no sequoia trees in these Woods. The washroom facility was great, but prices in the shop were high. Sausalito is a delightful town with lots of restaurants, ferry ride back to SF was nice.
