Day toursMuir Woods & SausalitoComing soon

Muir Woods,a half day north.

Across the Golden Gate to the old-growth redwoods, then lunch on the Sausalito waterfront. Six hours, parking reservation included — which matters, because Muir Woods turns cars away without one.

Who books this day

The layover tour.

Long layovers, first afternoons, and last mornings — the tour that fits when a full day does not. Also the standing answer for visitors who want redwoods but not five hours of driving.

You can end it in Sausalito and take the ferry back into the city if you would rather arrive by water; we drop your luggage at your hotel on the way past.

The honest version

Doing it by bus is cheaper.

Scheduled Muir Woods shuttles run about $60 a head from the city, and if you are two people with a flexible afternoon that is the sensible pick. The car is worth it at three or more, with children, with luggage, or when the return time has to bend around a flight.

Frequently asked

Do we need a parking reservation?

Muir Woods requires one for every vehicle and turns away those without. We hold it as part of the booking — one of the few fees we absorb.

Is it accessible?

The main valley boardwalk is flat and wheelchair-friendly for roughly half a mile. Tell us in advance and the driver will stop at the closest gate.

Can we add Stinson Beach?

An extra hour ($50–$110) puts Stinson or Muir Beach in the day. Both are twenty minutes past the woods on a road best driven by someone who knows it.

Luggage during a layover?

It stays locked in the car with your driver. Nothing is left in a station locker, and we can go straight to departures at the end.
