No rushing. No big buses. Just your group, your guide, and plenty of time to enjoy it.
We crossed the Golden Gate, stopped at incredible viewpoints, and had plenty of time in the redwoods — without worrying about parking or crowds.
Picture this: You hop into a bright green open-air Jeep. The city fades. The trees get taller. The coast opens up. You’re laughing, taking photos, wandering forest paths, and hearing stories you’d never get on a bus.
Peaceful, effortless, and perfectly paced. Our guide handled everything.

Tours start in Fisherman’s Wharf at 2870 Hyde Street, an easy and central location.
An optional hotel pick-up upgrade is available in select areas if you prefer a door-to-door experience.
Admission is not automatically included, but we make it easy.
Adults (16+): $15
Children (15 & under): Free
National Park Passes: Accepted
Most guests choose to add admission in advance through us, which lets you skip the ticket line and head straight into the forest. You can also purchase admission on your own at the park if you prefer.
No — and that’s intentional.
Muir Woods is a self-guided National Park experience, and the National Park Service does not allow outside guides to lead tours inside the forest. This gives you the freedom to explore quietly, take photos, and move at your own pace.
Your guide stays with the Jeep and is ready when it’s time for the next scenic stop.
Bonus: When staffing allows, the park offers short ranger-led talks inside Muir Woods. These are optional and don’t require reservations.
A couple of helpful tips:
There is no cell service or Wi-Fi at or around Muir Woods
Trails are well-marked and easy to follow
The environment is peaceful and shaded — perfect for slow exploring
It’s one of the most relaxing stops of the day.
Here’s the simple version:
San Francisco → Golden Gate Bridge → Muir Woods → Muir Beach Overlook → Sausalito → Marin Headlands Bridge View → Return to SF / or stay in Sausalito return by Ferry

And most importantly:
“I’d do this again in a heartbeat.”
