Muir Woods and Sausalito Small-Group Tour
This small-group excursion takes you north of San Francisco to experience two of Northern California's most distinctive destinations in a single day. Your tour begins with photo stops at the Golden Gate Bridge, where you can capture stunning views of the city skyline, bay and Alcatraz Island before heading into Marin County's natural landscapes.
The journey itself showcases the region's diverse scenery as you travel through the rolling hills of Marin Headlands with views of Mount Tamalpais. Your main destinations offer contrasting experiences: the ancient coastal redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument and the Mediterranean-style waterfront charm of Sausalito village.

Good to Know
You'll spend approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes exploring Muir Woods' well-marked trails among centuries-old coastal redwoods. The paths are suitable for easy walking through the forest's ferns, mosses and rich undergrowth. A visitor centre and gift shop are available on site.
In Sausalito, you'll have about an hour to explore the waterfront promenades, art galleries, boutique shops and cafes. The town offers views of San Francisco from across the water, and you can stroll along the marina to see the colourful houseboats.
At tour's end, you can return to San Francisco with your group or choose to stay longer in Sausalito and return independently by ferry for an additional fee. Food, drinks and driver gratuity are not included. Arrive at the pickup point on time and carry personal items as no lockers are available at the locations.
If you're interested in exploring more of San Francisco's natural surroundings, consider booking Alcatraz Island tours for another perspective on the bay, or discover the city's urban attractions with San Francisco city tours that showcase the metropolitan highlights you'll glimpse from the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint.
