Overview

Join us for a narrated and scenic drive from San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, explore the beauty of Giant Coastal Redwoods at Muir Woods, and appreciate the astonishing views from Sausalito's picturesque waterfront.
On the way to the Woods, we usually make a short stop on the Northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
We will spend one hour and twenty minutes in the Muir Woods and about one hour in Sausalito. Then we will take you back to your hotel. Should you decide to stay there longer, you can return to the city by Ferry or Uber. Ferry tickets are not included.
We also run this tour in the morning, if there is a sufficient number of people.
Muir Wood tour can be combined with a San Francisco City tour and/or Half Day Wine Tour to Sonoma.

Muir Woods National Monument

Enjoy the natural beauty of Coastal Sequoias! It is located on Mount Tamalpais near the Pacific coast in SW Marin County and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just 12 miles (19 km) north of SF. It protects 554 acres (224 ha) of which 240 acres (97 ha) are old-growth coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, the tallest living objects on Earth. Due to its proximity to the Ocean, the forest is regularly shrouded in a coastal marine layer fog. It remains cool and moist year-round with daytime temperatures averaging between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (4 to 21 °C). Millions of years ago ancestors of redwood and sequoia trees grew throughout North America. Today, the Sequoia sempervirens can be found only in a narrow, cool coastal belt from Monterey County, California, in the south to Oregon in the north.
