Tour to Muir Woods from San Francisco

Fans of the outdoor will enjoy this tour from San Francisco to a remote canyon that is home to 1000-year old coastal redwood trees. In the Muir Woods National Monument, you can indulge in an unforgettable forest bathing experience, among trees that are 400 to 800 years old and as high as 250 feet.

Take deep breaths of the fresh foggy Northern California in the redwood forest and be refreshed from within as you walk along the flat easy trails which wind through the giant groves. You will see many species of trees here including red alders, California big leaf maple and Douglas fir. There is a chance to spot endangered coho salmon fingerlings, woodpeckers, owls, deer, chipmunks, skunks and river otters.

Your Muir Woods San Francisco tickets include an entrance fee into Muir Woods. After completing your Muir Woods tour, head out on a scenic drive to the seaside town of Sausalito. This little town will remind you of a Mediterranean destination with its scenic coastal views, cafe-studded streets and houseboat enclaves. There are roughly 500 houseboats in five floating home marinas in Sausalito, which make a sight worth seeing in themselves.

The town is known for The Old Marinship Shipyards neighborhood, which is an industrial waterfront area located in the historic part of town. On a longer visit, people love to go kayaking here and even take seaplane rides for scenic views. Fresh seafood is a major draw here, as in most coastal towns.
