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).

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.

Fisherman's Wharf

We visited in October when power was shut off because of the current fires and impending risk. Because of this we didn’t get to go to Muir Woods but was instead offered either a refund, reschedule, or to take a modified trip to Old Mill Park where there would be redwood trees. Because we only had that day to be in the Bay Area and no immediate plans to return, we opted for the modified trip. While we’ve never seen a redwood tree in person before, I was mesmerized by the size and smell. We took a ton of pictures. A group of ladies on the bus with us said Muir Woods is even larger. So I guess ignorance was bliss for us. The bus left on time and the driver was fun and friendly sharing little fun facts along with way making the hour drive feel much shorter. We paid extra to ride the ferry back from Sausalito and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it because you get to take your time and enjoy the town. We had lunch at Scomas, then shopped our way back to Bacchus & Venus, and just in time to catch the last Ferry of the day. This Ferry ride included surprise (to us) stop in Tiburon for additional passengers, but we didn’t mind because it was more time on the water and they had beverages (adult too!) and snacks available for purchase. When we returned to the downtown bay we had a display of the Blue Angels for Fleet Week and capped off our evening with drinks and apps from Boudin. Overall, it was the best of the situation and I’m still pleased with the experience.

Dear U9920HBloric, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review on our tour! On the one hand, I sincerely regret the problem you experienced; Muir Woods was indeed closed due to PG&E power outages back in October. However, we managed to send all the information to our customers offering them different choices and trying to minimise the inconveniences as much as possible. I am happy to see you decided to take the tour to Old Mill Park and enjoy the redwoods with our knowledgeable driver-guide. On the other hand, taking the ferry back from Sausalito to the city is a fantastic choice, since it allows you to have more time in the village and enjoy the stunning views on the way back. Kind regards, Manager at Gray Line of San Francisco

Just amazing! Peacefulness in the big city. Could have spent all day out there. We took the ferry back, wish there was less traffic in the bay but enjoyed ourselves.

Dear Jessica E, Thank you for your opinion. Indeed, Muir Woods is an outstanding spot near the city where people can stop for a while and enjoy its relaxing charm and beauty. I am more than happy to discover you had a great time in Sausalito too, taking the ferry back to be able to enjoy the views of the bay. We hope you had a great time in San Francisco! Best regards, Manager at Gray Line of San Francisco

Our guide, Josh, was awesome. This was a nice half-day tour. For me, there was a little too much time in the Woods and not enough time in Sausalito. We only had about an hour there if you wanted to take the bus back downtown. It was raining the day we went to Muir Woods and not many of us were interested in walking around outside for 2 hours. The little cafe near the visitors’ center was packed, so many of us ended up back on the bus early. No wifi or cell service made for a long wait. Others took the full time time walk the entire park, so I understand that not everyone was as eager to hit the road as I was.
