About Muir Woods and Sausalito (Return by Bus or Ferry) Day Tours

Escape the bustling city and immerse yourself in the ancient, towering redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument before exploring the charming coastal town of Sausalito. This unforgettable day tour offers seamless transportation across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, letting you choose between a scenic bus ride or a breezy ferry cruise back to San Francisco.

Local Legends & Stories

Muir Woods was named after the famous naturalist John Muir, who declared it 'the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world.' Sausalito's colorful history includes a stint as a bootlegger's paradise during Prohibition and a hub for bohemian artists and musicians in the 1960s.

Must Do Experiences

Walk among the 1,000-year-old coastal redwoods on the main boardwalk at Muir Woods.
Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the Sausalito waterfront, taking in panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline.
Cross the majestic Golden Gate Bridge and snap iconic photos from the Marin Headlands.
Opt for the ferry return to experience a spectacular cruise past Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate.

Hidden Gems

Venture slightly off the main Muir Woods boardwalk onto the Bohemian Grove Trail for a quieter, more intimate redwood experience.
In Sausalito, grab a bite at a local seafood shack tucked away on the wooden piers rather than the busy main street.
Keep an eye out for the historic Sausalito houseboats, a quirky and colorful floating community just north of the downtown area.

What Makes it Special

Guaranteed 90-minute stop in Muir Woods, the maximum time allowed by the National Park Service.
Flexible return options, allowing you to tailor your journey back via bus or a scenic San Francisco Bay ferry.
Includes pre-arranged Muir Woods admission and an optional guided bike tour, saving you the hassle of booking parking or tickets.

Available Facilities

Restrooms Gift shop Café (at Muir Woods) Visitor Center Ferry terminal Bicycle parking

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heaviest crowds and experience the magical light filtering through the redwoods. September and October offer some of the clearest, warmest weather in the Bay Area.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

In Muir Woods, point your camera straight up to capture the sheer scale of the towering redwoods against the sky.
Use a polarizing filter to reduce glare on the water and enhance the colors of the San Francisco skyline from Sausalito.
If returning by ferry, head to the outer deck for unobstructed, dramatic shots of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Muir Woods is a protected National Monument; respect the fragile ecosystem by staying on marked trails and keeping your voice low to preserve the tranquil atmosphere. Sausalito has a laid-back, artistic vibe, so take your time interacting with local boutique owners and gallery curators.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Sausalito Art Festival (typically held over Labor Day weekend), featuring world-class art, music, and wine.
Earth Day celebrations in April, offering special ranger-led talks and conservation events in Muir Woods.
Lighted Boat Parade in December, illuminating the Sausalito waterfront with festive holiday cheer.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Hold onto your hats and secure your cameras if you take the ferry back, as the bay winds can be surprisingly strong.
When biking or walking in Sausalito, be mindful of heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic along Bridgeway.

About Muir Woods and Sausalito (Return by Bus or Ferry) Day Tours

Muir Woods National Monument lacks cellular service and Wi-Fi, so visitors should download any necessary maps or information prior to arrival. Coastal weather in this region fluctuates frequently, making layered clothing and comfortable walking shoes highly recommended. Depending on the selected tour option, the return journey from Sausalito to San Francisco will be either via a scheduled bus or a ferry across the San Francisco Bay.

As a globally renowned single-span suspension bridge, Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol and landmark of San Francisco. The Bridge spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate strait of the Pacific Ocean, making it an important transportation hub linking San Francisco and cities to the north. Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here. The north of the Bridge is an ideal site to take a panoramic picture of the structure; and its bright orange arch seems shrouded in mystery in foggy days; the Bridge's southern side is more suitable for a close-up snapshot of the water and the body of the Bridge. If the schedule allows, you can rent a bicycle and experience a more unique view while riding the length of the Bridge.

Stay on the designated wooden boardwalks in Muir Woods to avoid poison oak and protect the shallow redwood root systems.
Hold onto your hats and secure your cameras if you take the ferry back, as the bay winds can be surprisingly strong.
When biking or walking in Sausalito, be mindful of heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic along Bridgeway.
