Muir Woods and Sausalito Half-Day Tour - San Francisco

On this half-day Muir Woods and Sausalito tour, you’ll wander through ancient groves of coastal redwoods at the Muir Woods National Monument and take a leisurely walk along the historic flower-lined sidewalks of Sausalito. If you’ve never seen an old-growth redwood forest, prepare for a full sensory experience. Our redwood tours from San Francisco are just a quick 30 minutes from downtown, so before long you’ll see the trees of Muir Woods that are between 800 and 1,200 years old. You’ll take a full hour and a half to roam through this ‘living museum’ where you can walk among the towering trees that used to dominate the west coast from Santa Barbara to Washington.

After exploring Muir Woods, you’ll have a narrated tour through the beautiful seaside Mediterranean-style town of Sausalito, after which you’ll get a chance to explore the 2.5-mile waterfront (approx 45 minutes total) before returning to the city across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Have a full day to fill? You can also choose to skip the ride back in the mini-shuttle and opt for a picturesque ferry ride back to San Francisco! Taking one of our Sausalito tours means you can explore for longer and take the ferry across the Bay! Book the Tour with Return Ferry for the option to explore this beautiful town at your leisure and take the scenic ride to Fisherman’s Wharf or the San Francisco Ferry Building.

From there, enjoy some more sightseeing and easily reach your hotel via cable car or public transportation. The ferry from Sausalito departs at various times depending on the season.
