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.

This tour was awesome! When I got to the Gray Line office it was an easy and fast check-in. There was a couple cafés/ coffee places next to it so after I checked in, I got a bite to eat and headed onto the bus. Once we started going, our driver drove us through the city a little bit before hopping onto the highway and he gave us so much information and facts about the neighborhoods we were going through, it was super interesting. We headed over the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped for ~10 minutes at a view point so we could take pictures. The drive from the starting point to Muir Woods was ~50 minutes and once we got to Muir Woods we had a bit over an hour and a half to walk around. I was nervous that it wouldn’t be enough time, but it for sure was! I was able to walk to all the bridges (there were 4), do some shopping in the gift shop and make it back on the bus in time before going to Sausalito. Once again our driver talked about the city and pointed out places with a story behind it. When we got to Sausalito he gave us recommendations of places to eat and see and I spent ~3 hours there. I chose the option to take the ferry back and I highly recommend it!! It gave me the freedom to spend as much/ little time as I wanted in Sausalito and I could take any ferry back to SF. I took the ferry right at sunset and the view of going into the city with Alcatraz and the Golden Gate right there was beautiful! (pictures are from going back on the ferry)

I’ve done many Muir Woods + Wine Country tours with Gray Line and was always satisfied. This outing, however, I felt like I did not get what I paid for. I purchased 10 tickets for Muir Woods (2 hours) and Sausalito (30 minutes). Our family wanted plenty of time to explore the woods, snack shop, and the gift shop. We had two grandparents that needed to take time to walk. What we received was a 20 minute stop at Golden Gate lookout (not on the itinerary). One hour in Muir Woods(half the time advertised) and one hour in Sausalito (twice as much time as advertised). This was a major disappointment, especially since we spent $850+ taxes to see Muir Woods. If we wanted a half and half trip to Sausalito, we would have purchased that option from the company. The tour guide was nice and did a great job narrating the trip and was very safe driving. Overall, we felt cheated because we didn’t get to do what we paid to do.

Great trip with a knowledgeable tour guide. We were able to get about 90 minutes in at Muir Woods and an hour in Sausalito. Would recommend.
