Pier 39, San Francisco, CA 94133, USA
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.

Traveler Tips

  • "Note: the roadway in to the woods can be challenging for those that get car sick; the bus has to wind around a bunch of switchbacks so be warned." See review
  • "Be cautioned, if you add on the Bay Cruise, you are dropped off in the Fisherman's Wharf area and must make you own way back to your hotel after the cruise." See review
  • "Beautiful experience in Muir Woods but it was extremely early and very cold and seemed pointless to be there that early." See review

Beautiful experience in Muir Woods but it was extremely early and very cold and seemed pointless to be there that early. The tour overall felt extremely rushed and the tour guide/driver was not very friendly. He sped through the drive to each spot giving you no time to actually sightsee. It felt more like transportation from one spot to another and not informative whatsoever.

We appreciate the time you took to review your experience. All reviews are important to us and help us better understand where we can improve. The early reservation is so that the amount of people present at Muir Woods National Monument isn't overly crowded. Allowing our patrons more access to what the park has to offer and less exposure to others. We are looking into your other concerns and will be sure to address this to better accommodate future clients. Again, thank you for your patronage and for your honesty. We are endeavoring to improve always and this will help us achieve it!

Had family fly in from middle America and the South for a few days and wanted to show them some of what California had to offer. This trip was perfect. Muir Woods, Sausalito, a bay cruise and finished off with Pier 39. Our tour guide was funny as well as super knowledgeable. The first two stops were just over an hour but it gave them a taste of California. Great little trip for the price.

We did the Muir Woods/Sausalito/Pier 39 boat tour package, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was quite a long day, so be sure to get a good night's sleep. Our driver/guide was excellent, with a lot of interesting facts and history, and was very clear in his instructions on timing and logistics. My teenager loved the Muir Woods and boat aspects, but found Sausalito a little sleepy. Overall, I would recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a lot of outdoor beauty without all the driving/parking/planning.

Our tour guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable and funny. He had great suggestions on the best way to walk through the woods and where to eat in Sausalito. (Get the fish tacos!) It happened to be Fleet Week and the air show was going on above us on the Bay cruise. Awesome!!

The woods are amazing to see and Sausalito Bay is a quaint seaside Village. Our tour guide was terrible! He left people behind at Muir Woods, did not explain anything and his driving was poor!!! Needless to say he did not receive a tip.
