What To Expect

The primeval home to old growth Coastal Redwoods, some at least 1,200 years old. The tallest is 258 feet high. We optimize the time you spend on the trails of Coastal Redwoods by arriving before the crowds. You’ll spend 1.5 hours (or more!) enjoying California’s native flora and fauna, taking in giant ferns, moss-lined creeks, fresh bay leaf-scented air from the many Laurel trees and squirrels, blue jays and deer if you’re lucky.

We learned that Muir Woods schedules visits as our pick up time was changed by a few hours. But the Viator driver and guide were very friendly. It was nice being a smaller group. My only complaint is with the bus layout itself as you are unable to look out the front window (unless you duck your head to be waist level), especially during the windy road to the woods. Overall I highly recommend and would do it again.

Thanks for your kind words. Next time let us host you in Yosemite or Monterey. Travel well.

It took a while for the van driver to pick up all the customers, but after that we were taken directly to Muir woods. Muir woods is naturally awesome! We spent an hour an a half there. We proceeded on to Sausalito where we were on our own to choose a restaurant for lunch. We chose the option of taking the ferry back to San Francisco which we enjoyed.

This is exactly the sort of slow-paced morning that we had in mind when designing the tour. Taking the ferry back gives you the ability to customize the Sausalito portion to your liking (Lappert's ice cream...mmmm!).

I went on the morning Muir Woods tour with Travis on a monday late september. The day was beautiful. The pickup went so smoothly (Travis was even a little early!) and the group was not too large, so there was time before our reservation at Muir Woods to stop at a viewpoint north of the Golden Gate. Also due to smooth travels, we had more than 90 min in the woods, giving plenty of time to walk around (which I was really happy about, it was lovely and smelled amazing there) and shop for souvenirs. Travis explained the dropoff at Sausalito and ferry back super clearly. It was really easy to get back, and an amazing ferry ride.

We love the Muir Woods + Sausalito tour combo. Giant redwoods in the morning and charming Sausalito for lunch. Taking the ferry back lets you slow the pace to fit your schedule. Thanks!
