Description

Take a break from the city and venture into Northern California’s majestic redwood forest and coastal charm on this private day trip to Muir Woods National Monument and Sausalito. With roundtrip transportation, scenic stops, and free time to explore, this tour offers a peaceful and flexible escape just beyond San Francisco.

Your journey begins with hotel pickup by a private driver before crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, where sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco Bay, and the skyline unfold before you. You’ll then arrive at Muir Woods, home to towering coastal redwoods reaching over 300 feet. As you wander the winding, fern-lined trails on a self-guided walk, take in the stillness of the forest — a place that has inspired nature lovers and conservationists for generations.

Designated a National Monument in 1908, Muir Woods is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, preserving one of the last remaining ancient redwood groves on the California coast. With shaded glades, trickling streams, and wildlife-rich valleys, this forest offers a rare window into a prehistoric landscape.

After your time among the redwoods, enjoy a scenic return drive to Sausalito, a charming waterfront town known for its art studios, floating houseboat communities, and boutique shops. You’ll have free time to stroll the harbor, browse local galleries, or dine at one of the many bayside cafés — with lunch reservations arranged in advance upon request.

This private tour includes door-to-door service, but please note: local regulations prevent the driver from accompanying you inside Muir Woods. You’ll explore the park and Sausalito independently at your own pace with the convenience of a flexible schedule and private transportation.

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, photography lover, or simply seeking fresh air and coastal views, this day trip offers a seamless and memorable way to experience two of the Bay Area’s most treasured destinations.
