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.

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.

Muir woods was an excellent trip. Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful to walk amongst these massive and spectacular creations of nature. I wish we had more time to sit and enjoy their beauty. The bus ride and our tour guide (Tiana) were excellent very informative and comical. She made us laugh but yet also provided great information and history about what we were seeing while driving through the city. We took the later tour which worked for us this trip but I would take the earlier tour if you want to spend more time in Sausalito and then catch the 2:55 (weekend schedule) Ferry back to San Francisco as it makes two stops before landing by pier 39. Kind of giving you a mini bay cruise.

Book this tour, stop looking for others and wasting your time, and just book it. You actually get four tours for your money if you go on the weekends and get Josh as your tour guide. He narrates the sights and Culture of the different neighborhoods you go through on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. Then you park on the other side of the bridge to take your touristy photo( you know you will, why not) then continue on to Muir Woods. Big perks of this tour is no parking fee, and entrance fee to park is part of your price, and the buses park close to the entrance. You get plenty of time in the park to enjoy it's truly amazing beautiful scenery. Just don't be late back to the bus or you'll get golf clapped. Sausalito was ok . And above all I must commend our guide Josh. Knowledgeable, funny, personable and a great driver . Everything you could hope for and more in a guide .
