From San Francisco: Half Day Muir Woods Tour, Sausalito Tour and Bay Cruise

About this experience

This half-day tour from San Francisco combines a visit to Muir Woods National Monument, a stop in Sausalito, and a one-hour Bay Cruise into a single six-hour itinerary. Departing the city, the route crosses the Golden Gate Bridge and heads into Marin County's coastal mountains, passing through landscapes historically inhabited by the Coastal Miwok people. Muir Woods, established as a national monument in 1908, protects old-growth coast redwoods along Redwood Creek, with trees reaching over 250 feet. Transport throughout is by air-conditioned coach with a certified driver-guide, making this a practical option among things to do in San Francisco without needing a hire car. The itinerary gives 90 minutes at Muir Woods, with the entrance fee included, followed by 60 minutes in Sausalito, a waterfront town known for its Mediterranean-style architecture, galleries, and harbourside restaurants. The tour concludes back in San Francisco with a one-hour Blue and Gold Fleet Bay Cruise departing from Pier 39. The cruise passes the sea lion colony at Pier 39, sails under the Golden Gate Bridge, circles Alcatraz Island, and passes Angel Island, with narrated commentary on key landmarks. Indoor and outdoor seating is available on board. Tickets cover coach transport, Muir Woods admission, and the Bay Cruise; gratuities, food, and drinks are not included. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and hotel pickup is not provided.
