From San Francisco: Day Trip to Muir Woods & Sausalito

About this experience

This day trip from San Francisco is a guided tour combining Muir Woods National Monument and the waterfront town of Sausalito, running approximately four hours in total. The route crosses the Golden Gate Bridge, opened in 1937, before reaching Muir Woods, a protected old-growth coastal redwood forest in Marin County. The forest contains trees that exceed 800 years in age, with some redwoods standing over 250 feet tall, making it one of the few remaining old-growth groves accessible from a major city. Travel is by air-conditioned bus with an expert guide providing commentary throughout, and entrance to Muir Woods is included in the booking. Inside the forest, the guided section takes visitors along established trails beneath the redwood canopy, with the guide covering the ecology and history of the grove. After Muir Woods, the tour continues to Sausalito, a hillside harbour town known for its houseboats, waterfront restaurants, and views back across the bay towards San Francisco. Free time in Sausalito allows for independent exploration and shopping. Tickets cover the round-trip bus journey, bridge crossing, Muir Woods entrance, and guided commentary. Gratuities, food, and drinks are not included. An optional ferry return from Sausalito is available at additional cost. The cancellation policy allows cancellation before the scheduled timeslot. Note that the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
