Muir Woods & Sausalito Half-Day Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry from Sausalito)
Depart from San Francisco at your chosen morning or afternoon time and pause at a scenic overlook where you can snap photos of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Continuing through the rolling hills of the Marin Headlands, arrive at Muir Woods National Monument—one of the world’s last refuges of towering coastal redwoods, some soaring as high as 250 feet (76 meters) and dating back nearly 800 years. Wander the peaceful trails under the ancient canopy and soak up the tranquility before traveling a short distance to Sausalito, a colorful bayside enclave known for its art galleries and stunning views of the city skyline. Stroll the waterfront, perhaps stopping for a coffee or an ice cream at one of the local cafés (at your own expense), then decide whether to return to your original pickup point or continue your adventure by taking a scenic ferry ride back to Pier 41 in San Francisco.
