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.

Tour was exactly as expected. Def recommend getting the ferry back at the end of the tour around Sausalito as gives you plenty of time to explore without being rushed.

Our tour guide and bus driver, Jim, was very good. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out several points of interest all along the trip. Muir woods was great. It is beautiful and peaceful. I really recommend going on the early tour as it gets pretty busy along the trail. I took the 8am tour and we were at Muir by and had 1.5 hours to stroll in the forest. By 10am it was getting pretty busy. Sausalito is a great little town amd we had about an hour to tour the shops, grab something to eat or just enjoy the scenery. There is an option to buy a ferry ticket back to San Fran so you could stay longer. I've been there a few times so an hour was plenty. I plan on doing this tour again with my husband. Well worth it to be able to enjoy the sites without driving.

Our bus tour to The Muir Woods and Sausalito was absolutely worth every penny. The woods were indescribably beautiful, pictures do not do them justice. Our bus driver was a SF native who knew not only facts about the history of the sites along the way and about the Muir Woods and Sausalito but also had personal stories to share. We opted for the ferry ticket back which was definitely worth it although you can opt to purchase the ferry ticket once you arrive in Sausalito. No need to pre-purchase.
