Pier 39, San Francisco, CA 94133, USA

The Bay Cruise concludes at the Pier. Guest will have time to enjoy Fisherman's Wharf after the tour.

Muir Woods National Monument and the village of Sausalito are two of the most popular things to do north of San Francisco. This convenient tour from the city makes it easy to check off both from your list, plus take a San Francisco Bay cruise for even more photo ops.

Your morning starts with a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, where you’ll stop to take in views from Vista Point on your way to Muir Woods. Enjoy ample time to walk along paths through the forest of old-growth coastal redwoods, known for being some of the oldest and tallest trees in the world.

Then head to Sausalito, a picturesque small town nestled between the Marin Headlands and San Francisco Bay on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Take a walk on the waterfront, grab a snack (own expense) or check out the art galleries and shops. Once back in San Francisco, board your Bay Cruise departing from Pier 39.

Your narrated cruise takes you underneath the bridge (weather permitting) and past Alcatraz Island. Enjoy views of the city skyline and the local sea lions, and then end your tour with a drop-off at Pier 39.

Please note: the order of activities can change, depending on the Muir Woods departure time, which won’t be confirmed until about a week before each tour.

Enjoyable…but whew!
JJac23

Great trip…but only take it if you are looking to get a lot done in a short amount of time. This is not an excursion for people who like to “dwaddle.” You leave on time and your stops at landmarks are 5-8 minutes. Muir Woods was 75 minutes and not a minute more. Salsalito was pretty but you could barely grab a quickly lunch or visit a shop or two before it was time to go back. The Bay Cruise is a must. So, while I actually enjoyed this and would recommend it, it is definitely not for anyone who has mobility issues or anyone who likes to stop and take their time and look at everything. You get off, you look, you take your picture and you keep it moving.

We had a very nice tour guide Archie. He did a great job giving us the history and highlights of all the areas we visited. Our pick up location was easy to find (Union Square area). The only thing we were disappointed about is that our bay tour that we were going to take at 2:00 had just changed the day of the tour to the next time of 5:00 (the hours Changed because the schools were back in Session). Other than the time change it was definitely the best way to see Muir Woods. Sit back and relax

Muir Woods was awesome! Going first thing was great, no crowds, all to ourselves. Archie our guide was very informative and friendly. Sausalito was a little sleepy but nice. Sun came out for the Bay Cruise and that was really good. Great bridge shots. The tour was easy, fun and well worth it!

This tour was VERY well-organized. Our tour guide was clearly very experienced, knowledgeable and a wonderful driver. The Muir Woods are gorgeous and peaceful, and Sausalito was a lovely place for a quick lunch and a little shopping (would have loved to have spent a few more hours here). We added on the 1-hour Bay Cruise, which we did after returning to San Francisco. We got an up-close look at Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, plus a whole new perspective of the city. Highly recommend!!!
