Muir Woods & Sausalito Half-Day Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry from Sausalito)

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.

Muir Woods lies in the middle of the redwood's latitudinal region. The incredible diversity of flora and fauna can be daunting at times. Redwoods, Stellarā€™s jay, ladybugs, ancient horsetail ferns, and the banana slug are all a part of the hiking experience. We offer the maximum time allowed at Muir Woods for any tour operator (90'). We would love to offer more time at this beautiful National Park, but every tour operator has a limited parking time at the Park to allow access to all visitors.

Sausalito
A gorgeous Mediterranean-style village with quaint shops, art galleries, and waterfront restaurants. We will stop for 60 minutes. If you plan to extend your stay in Sausalito for more than one hour, we recommend booking the tour option "return by Ferry" so you can decide when to come back to San Francisco at your own pace. The Ferry docks at Pier 41, in the heart of Fishermanā€™s Wharf. If you book any of the Return by Bus options, you will be driven back to San Francisco and dropped off at the same locations you've been picked up: 478 Post. St or 2800 Leavenworth.

I have only good things to say about this. We considered renting a car to visit Muir Woods and are glad we didn't. The timing of this experience was perfect - a quick break to see the bridge and visit the restroom, 90 minutes at Muir Woods (which was plenty), and then 90 minutes in Sausolito. The bus driver gave history of the area as well as recommendations on which path to take at Muir and where to eat in Sausolito. We opted to take the bus back to our pickup point and were happy with that decision too.

We took this tour back in May 2022. Weā€™re glad we did as Muir Woods is special. We went with the 10:40am pickup to allow time for coffee and breakfast, a wise choice as there were limited options until Sausalito. The tour bus was very comfortable and our guide/driver was great. Canā€™t remember his name, but he was funny and very knowledgeable. The trees in Muir Woods are a sight to behold. We wouldā€™ve liked longer there but tour groups are limited to 90 minutes. If you want to stay for longer and do some hikes (we did after getting there) consider alternative transport options. After the woods we were taken to Sausalito. A pretty town with great views of San Francisco across the bay, but quite touristy and expensive. Avoid the naff overpriced ice cream: 20 dollars for 2 scoops each of flavourless iced matter šŸ˜®. We chose the option to return to SF by ferry, which we recommend as you get a great view of the Golden Gate bridge (if the weatherā€™s on your side). If youā€™re wearing a hat, keep hold of it.
