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.

Loved this combo of Golden Gate Bridge/Muir Woods/Sausalito for lunch tour!! Very knowledgeable guide & stress-free sightseeing!! Highly recommend for those who don't want to worry about parking/driving. The optional ferry boat ($12-15pp) back to SF was a plus too (although we didnt personally take it this time).

On the whole this was a good tour. I got to see two places in just the right amount of time. Seeing the Muir Woods was a treat. Perfect amount of time allocated. Sausalito section was great too. I took a ferry back. Great side visit. I would say that there was not much info on where the ferries were and what the schedules were. Our guide was informative; he had a lot to do and cover. He remained in good humor and very helpful. No regrets on this choice. Thank you for providing this opportunity.

Our driver was Joe bus number 4005. He was so boring. He sounded like he was reading from a script and didn't even answer questions from a woman who was asking questions. The Muir Woods was ok. Half of the trails were closed due to fixing them up. There's only so many tall trees you can look at. Sausalito doesn't have much there but expensive shops. If you take the ferry back, make sure you ask before getting on which pier it is going to. We got on the one that was scheduled for Pier 39, but it went to Pier 1 instead. There are no announcements of a change in schedule.
