Tour Description

Take a refreshing break from San Francisco on a half-day excursion to Muir Woods National Monument and the charming seaside town of Sausalito.

Travel across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and through the rugged coastal mountains of Marin County, enjoying magnificent views of the San Francisco Bay and valleys once inhabited by the Coastal Miwok people. Your first stop is Muir Woods National Monument, where ancient groves of Giant Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) rise majestically above Redwood Creek. This tour allows more time in Muir Woods than offered by most tour operators, giving you ample opportunity to explore the trails, breathe in the fresh forest air, and fully appreciate these towering natural wonders. Muir Woods entrance fee is included.

Next, visit the picturesque coastal town of Sausalito, a Mediterranean-style village known for its quaint shops, art galleries, waterfront cafés, and sweeping views back toward the San Francisco skyline.
