Small Group Redwoods, California Coast & Sausalito Day Trip from San Francisco

Small Group Redwoods, California Coast & Sausalito Day Trip from San Francisco

Overview

We begin the day at Armstrong Woods, where you will walk among the oldest and largest trees on the planet. The park has 1500 year old, 300-foot Redwoods beauties that offer an awe-inspiring stroll through one of the most unique forests in Northern California. We purposefully choose NOT to go to the more known Muir Woods, which is overrun with crowds and prevents our guests from fully enjoying the majesty of the Redwoods. Instead, we go to Armstrong, which has older and taller trees, and far less crowds for a more private experience.

We will travel to a small timber town where we will purchase lunch and, weather permitting, go picnic at the beach as we travel down the spectacular California coastline.

The day ends in Sausalito — a lovely town on the San Francisco Bay with magical views of the city. Then, you can decide if you want to return with us or take a 30-minute ferry ride back to San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

This trip was amazing! There was so much to see and so many small towns to visit along the way back from Armstrong woods. The beach was also so amazing, and all the information and recommendations from the guide were amazing.

David was an excellent guide. The first place we visited on this tour was at the Palace of Fine Arts, then proceeded to Fort Point where we had an interesting view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We then drove through Sonoma wine country to Armstrong Woods and walked the trail to see the beautiful redwoods. The weather was beautiful until we reached Goat Rock Beach. However, we did get to enjoy the pacific ocean during a picnic lunch. The deli that we bought our sandwiches from provided several selections and was reminiscent of a store we visit on the east coast. We were also able to see "The Birds" house which brought back memories of when I first watched the movie. Our last stop was in Sausalito where we were able to shop and have a snack if we wished.
