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 National Monument

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, Stellar’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 Fisherman’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 took the bus trip to Muir Woods and the ferry back from Sausalito. Booking was painless and easy, especially because they provide you all the tickets / ferry tickets ahead of time. Driver/tour guide was great. I felt safe and he provided so much information along the tour. I recommend going at the 8am tour only because we beat a lot of the crowds getting to Muir woods early on, and it was a much more enjoyable experience without so much noise (and kids!). An hour was more than enough time to enjoy the area on a very easy elevated walking trail. We left on time, and everyone was great about sticking to the bus schedule so that we had time to stop off for picture at the Golden Gate. I didn't really enjoy Sausalito as much only because I had been there before, and although it's cute, quaint and picturesque, there's nothing really worth sticking around for me. I went in February and it was actually the perfect time to go on account of there being little fog, and offering clear views throughout. Dress warm though for the woods!

It was wonderful seeing Muir Woods but the tour was definitely too short! There is just enough time to walk the trails but you have to walk so fast to make it through that you really miss the beauty of the place. We were given 1 hr and a half to walk the trails and check out the gift shop and had to be back in time otherwise the bus driver said he would leave without us. It was great cause we got to see the red woods but it was sad that we had to basically speed walk the whole thing. Disappointing because you miss the contemplative beauty of nature when you have to speed through and especially for how much money you have to pay for the tour.

I will transfer your constructive feedback with both our operations and reservations team in order to see whether there is room for improvement. Sincerely, Manager at Gray Line of San Francisco

The bus ride up was very relaxing and enjoyable. It was wonderful not to have to drive myself up there and struggle to find parking. The Woods were amazing. Very majestic. Well worth the time. We enjoyed walking around Sausalito afterwards. The ferry ride back to San Francisco gave us a chance to get pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset!
