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.

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.

Muir Woods and Sausilito are both beautiful places to visit. The tours are just too short in length to enjoy all they have to offer unless you plan for another form of transportation back to your hotel. The tour guide from Grayline was very knowledgeable. I'm sorry that I didn't get his name, but he has very thick gray hair. I would do these tours again but probably independent of each other. Grayline offers very good tours. The buses are comfortable and a joy to travel on. We had a good time.

Dear Carla R, Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to realize you found both Muir Woods and Sausalito attractive places to visit although you felt the tour was rushed. I would also like to tell you that we offer customers the option of returning from Sausalito by ferry precisely to give them more flexibility for them to fully enjoy their day. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! Sincerely, Manager at Gray Line of San Francisco

Well-organized professional tour. It was just the right amount of time in both locations. Muir Woods is gorgeous and the stop in Sausolito was beautiful. Note that if you go to the early morning tour, a lot of the food places aren't open yet in Sausolito. Randy was our tour guide and he was wonderful. He made everyone feel welcome, gave great fun facts about San Francisco, and has a great sense of humour. Ask for Randy! :-)

This is our 2nd visit here. If you are not in awe of these beautiful huge trees, there is truly something wrong. Totally amazing to visit this lost world.

Dear Jefrealtor, Thank you for taking the time to post a review on our Muir Woods tour. Indeed, giant sequoias are an incredible creation of nature that has to be seen during a visit to Northern California. I am so glad you could enjoy Muir Woods for a second time! Sincerely, Manager at Gray Line of San Francisco
