SAN FRANCISCO + MUIR WOODS TOUR

Round-trip shuttle | san francisco to muir woods, muir woods shuttle transport.

Only about 16 miles north of San Francisco grows the famous ancient coastal redwood forest known as Muir Woods National Monument.

The park offers solitude, interpretive displays and programs, and numerous hiking trails. It’s an unforgettable place to visit if you’re in the Bay Area and one of the most popular day trips from San Francisco. In other words, you really can’t visit San Francisco and not hike through Muir Woods.

Use this site to explore the best ways of getting up to Muir Woods , whether you just want to take advantage of our shuttle to Muir Woods from Sausalito or go on a proper tour and bike across the Golden Gate Bridge. Once you have your transportation covered, don’t forget to check out our Muir Woods guides to learn more about the Muir Woods National Monument.

WHY VISIT MUIR WOODS

The Muir Woods National Monument is an area just a short scenic drive north of San Francisco in Marin County, California.

The Muir Woods is famous for its beautiful coast redwood trees, which can reach a staggering height of more than 300 feet (92 meters) and live for over 1,000 years!

Muir Woods Redwoods

The tallest tree in Muir Woods is 258 feet (79 meters) tall and an astonishing 1,200 years old . Sure enough, these are among the tallest living things in the entire world!

There are 6 miles (10 km) of trails throughout Muir Woods National Monument, allowing visitors to choose from several different hiking routes.

When does Muir Woods open and close?

Muir Woods is open from 8 am to 5 pm (or 8 pm per the time of year). In every season, it closes at sunset.

What is the best time to visit Muir Woods?

The best time to go to Muir Woods is in the spring or fall, early in the morning or late in the afternoon on weekdays. In other words, the best time to visit Muir Woods is from May to October.

Is Muir Woods a difficult hike?

Muir Woods has trails for people of all skill levels, from easy to intermediate. Basically, the answer to this question depends on the trail you choose.

How long does a Muir Woods tour take place?

The tour itself takes 2 hours for a skilled person. But you must be prepared to spend 3 to 5 hours on this excursion, including your travel to and from Muir Woods.

Can you go to Muir Woods without reservation?

Technically, yes. If you arrive by foot, bicycle, or tour bus, you won't need to make a reservation. However, if you plan to drive there yourself, you will need to reserve a spot.

If you drive there without a reservation, you will have to return. At Muir Woods, you must make parking and/or bus service reservations.

The reason for this is that the national park has become much more popular in recent years and there is limited parking available. Due to safety concerns, they now require reservations to be made in advance for all vehicles.

Can you take an Uber to Muir Woods?

It is possible to take an Uber to Muir Woods, but it can be expensive (about $50 to $80 one-way from San Francisco) and hard to find a ride back.

We recommend a tour bus or other accommodations instead.

Muir Woods or Redwood National Forest?

Both the Muir Woods and the Redwood National Forest are beautiful national parks in the state of California.

The two are often confused as both feature old-growth coastal redwood forests full of these massive, ancient 1,000-year-old trees ( Sequoia sempervirens).

Muir Woods Tours

However, Muir Woods is much closer to San Francisco and receives a greater number of annual visitors. 

Redwood National Forest is more than 300 miles north of San Francisco, is much larger, and is much less visited.

So, which should you choose to visit during your trip to California? It depends on how much time you have.

Redwoods National Forest

It's 300 miles (483 km) north of San Francisco, so best for those who have the time to dedicate a full day to travel to and from the forest.

It's much larger and quieter, thus ideal for those truly looking for an escape. 

A beautiful forest that is just a 40-minute drive from San Francisco. Smaller than Redwoods National Forest, but features the same type of trees.

GUIDED TOURS OF MUIR WOODS

Each of the following companies offers tours to Muir Woods.

San Francisco Skyline Sightseeing, Gray Line, and Tower Tours lead combination tours that include tours of Sausalito, Sonoma, and/or highlights of San Francisco.

Muir Woods Tour City Sightseeing

Most tour companies spend between 1.5 to 2 hours in the forest.

As noted below, some companies (such as Skyline Sightseeing and Gray Line) are more transportation services rather than tours, as there is limited guided commentary off of the coach.

Prices range from $50 to over $100 per adult, depending on what other activities are combined with the trip to Muir Woods. 

Skyline Sightseeing Tours (formerly City Sightseeing)

Skyline Sightseeing Tours are classic hop-off-hop-on bus tours that take visitors to several different tourist destinations.

They offer several options that include Muir Woods, including the option to add-on a return ferry to San Francisco (Pier 41), for those who want to spend more time in Sausalito then is included in the tour. 

While on the ferry, you'll pass by Alcatraz Island and get a chance to see this historic site from afar. You'll also enjoy excellent views of the waterfront around Fisherman's Wharf!

This outfit offers complimentary hotel pickup. 

Tours to Muir Woods National Monument with Skyline Sightseeing receive generally positive reviews, with many guests praising the ease of transportation.

Some guests found the tour pick-up/drop-off schedule to be somewhat restrictive, however, this is a common complaint among all organized tours to Muir Woods.

Overall, visitors who traveled with Skyline Sightseeing found the experience very enjoyable and straightforward.

Dylan's Tours

Dylan’s Tours offer intimate, guided bus tours of San Francisco and the surrounding area, including some trips that will take you to the Muir Woods.

Their main service is a combo tour which includes both Dylan’s Famous Tour and a trip to Muir Woods.

During their San Francisco tour, you’ll visit sites such as Haight-Ashbury, Pacific Heights, and North Beach.

In addition to those options, this company also offers combo packages which include bike rides, a trip to Alcatraz, and more.

Dylan’s Tours is perhaps most well-known for its small group sizes and knowledgeable guides.

Their fleet of mini-buses allows for a more intimate experience than most of the other tour companies included on this list.

A vast majority of guests give this tour company a full 5 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor. Dylan’s Tours is reported to be very well organized and always on time.

Guides are also complimented for their impressive knowledge and likability. 

In fact, some guests liken the experience to a close friend driving them around for the day. Negative reviews are rare and usually the result of extenuating circumstances.

  • $175 – Adults | $119 – Children

Gray Line Tours

There are 3 different tours to Muir Woods National Monument offered by Gray Line Tours:

  • (1) Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour
  • (2) San Francisco City Tour & Muir Woods
  • (3) Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Bay Cruise.  

As each of these tours to Muir Woods includes a visit to a second location, time is inevitably limited at each stop.

You can expect the tour of San Francisco to include several stops in the Fisherman's Wharf area, Chinatown, and beyond!

The seaside town of Sausalito is a great place to visit if you want to find some of the best boutiques, cafes, and restaurants in the Bay Area.

All tours include admission to Muir Woods and hotel pick-up/drop-off during the morning tour.

The Gray Line Tour reviews are very positive, as many compliment the quality of the guides and the ease of transportation.

Some guests complain about the confusion regarding the hotel pick-up location, so be sure to check your confirmation email ahead of time. 

Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour  

This tour brings guests to Muir Woods for 75 minutes and then to Sausalito for another hour.

Guests can choose to extend their stay and pay for their own ferry ride back if they wish.  (4-hour tour).  

This ticket includes the $10 adult admission fee to the park, so as it stands, it's a better value than Skyline Sightseeing's similar tour.

  • Without Ferry Ticket: $89 Adult | $69 Child (5-11) | Free for under 5
  • With Ferry Ticket: $105 Adult | $79 Child (5-11) | Free for under 5
  • Departs daily at various times (4-hour tour)
  • More info or to book . 

San Francisco City Tour & Muir Woods  

This tour spends a large majority of the tour in the city in neighborhoods such as Fisherman's Wharf rather than in Muir Woods.

In some instances, guests who chose to depart in the late afternoon were not able to visit the Muir Woods because of its early seasonal closure.  

  • $139 - Adult | $96 Child (5-11) | Free for under 5
  • Departs daily at 8:40 am

Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Bay Cruise

Finally, guests may take the Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Bay Cruise, which allows visitors to enjoy three sceneries: the woods, the water, and the quaint city of Sausalito.

  • $110 Adult | $80 Child (5-11) | Free for under 5
  • Departs daily at various times (5.5-hour tour)

Tower Tours

In addition to their many other tours, Tower Tours also offers a tour of Muir Woods, which departs 3x daily and can be combined with other attractions:

  • (1) Muir Woods Tour
  • (2) Muir Woods Tour + Sausalito Ferry
  • (3) Muir Woods Tours + Aquarium of the Bay
  • (4) and Muir Woods Tour + Golden Gate Bay Cruise.  

Like the CitySightseeing tour to Muir Woods, this tour is more of a transportation service than a guided tour.

Guests are allowed "up to 1.5 hours" in the forest, though traffic may affect the allotted time.  

They too offer complimentary hotel pick-up from most hotels.

The Muir Woods Tour by Tower Tours is a highly-rated tour with excellent reviews.

Though this company maintains a 4-star rating on TripAdvisor, most of the reviews for their Muir Woods Tour are 5 stars. 

Muir Woods Tour

  • $85 - Adults | $55 - Child
  • Departs daily at 9 am
  • Duration: 3.5 hours

  Muir Woods Tours + Aquarium of the Bay

  • $119 - Adults | $79 - Child
  • Duration: 5 hours

Muir Woods Tour + Golden Gate Bay Cruise

  • $125 - Adults | $85 - Child

Muir Woods Tour + Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

  • $145 - Adults | $105 - Child

Muir Woods Tour + Sausalito + Wine Country

  • $175 - Adults | $105 - Child

Extranomical Tours

Extranomical has perhaps the largest selection of tours of any bus company in the San Francisco Bay Area.

They offer several trips to Muir Woods, most of which are combined with other tourist destinations such as Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Sausalito.

Guests are allowed up to 2 hours to explore Muir Woods on their own, during which time they can also buy lunch or hike a particular trail.

Their tours include free pick-up and drop-off at almost any hotel in San Francisco, making the door-to-door service very convenient. 

With a 4 ½ star rating on TripAdvisor and a 4-star rating on Yelp, it’s safe to say that most guests of Extranomical Tours have a great time. 

Most of the negative reviews seem to be centered around scheduling conflicts, but sometimes it’s impossible to foresee issues such as these.

If the only issues with this service are a few random, unforeseen problems with their schedule, that’s a pretty good sign.

Almost every other similar service has received complaints about the bus either being late or broken, so it’s worth noting that Extranomical does not appear to have these problems.

Tom Martell's Famous Muir Woods Tours

Tom Martell's Famous Muir Woods Tours is a small company owned and run by Tom Martell, a naturist and experienced Muir Woods guide.

Tom's tours are fully escorted and aim to inform guests about the flora and fauna of the area, the Redwoods themselves, Indian customs, park and local history, and folklore.

Tom promises that he is "here to give you a glimpse into the life of the forest, not to steer you to the gift shop or hurry you along."

The tour covers 2-4 miles and includes water, snacks, fruit juice, and complimentary pick-up at your San Francisco hotel and drop-off at the Sausalito Ferry.

NOTE: Tom is currently running private tours only .

SELF-GUIDED TOURS OF MUIR WOODS

Guests who prefer to hike around Muir Woods on their own or who choose not to use a tour company to travel there can follow several different self-guided walks around the park.

Each ranges immensely in terms of distance and time/difficulty level.

NOTE: Admission to Muir Woods is now free for all US Veterans and Gold Star Families. Fourth Graders can also visit for free!

COMBO PASSES / DISCOUNTS

Gocity san francisco pass.

  • All-Inclusive Pass
  • Explorer Pass

The All-Inclusive Pass is valid for a 7-day period during which guests are allowed to visit all attractions included on their list.

The Explorer Pass allows you to pick the specific activities you want rather than paying one flat price for everything.

The latter option is more expensive but does give guests access to many more sites.  

NOTE: As of December 2022, these passes no longer include a trip to Muir Woods, but that may change in the near future.

Groupon, Living Social, and GoldStar

What Our Guests Are Saying About Us

I would give Extranomical 5 Stars

The bus driver was kind enough to drop me, my wife, and my mother-in-law with bad knees straight to our hotel after the tour. Great customer service!!! Thank you for a great experience!!!

Elizer Garcia, Google

Great tour!

Booking was a breeze with wonderful customer service Our driver Kimmie took the tour to a new level. Muir Woods was serene and beautiful. Price was economical and worth every cent.

Cindy Henderson, Google

We took the morning Muir Woods tour and it was great!

Phil was an awesome tour guide - he was very knowledgeable about San Fran and its history; plus, he was funny and kept us entertained. He stopped at the GGB so we could take some awesome photos on a clear, sunny day before getting us to Muir Woods before 9 so we could get in free.

Phil was an awesome tour guide - he was very knowledgeable about San Fran and its history; plus, he was funny and kept us entertained. He stopped at the GGB so we could take some awesome photos on a clear, sunny day before getting us to Muir Woods before 9 so we could get in free. Muir Woods was beautiful - picture and words can do it justice. We had about 1.5 hours there before stopping in Sausalito on the way back for about 30 minutes. While we weren't there long, we were happy with the 30 minutes to bask in the sunlight while sitting on the water (we could have chosen to stay longer and take the ferry back to SF, but we had plans for the afternoon). We can't give Phil enough praise. If we ever make it back to San Fran, we will definitely use Extranomical Tours again - and, we would want Phil to be our guide!

I really enjoyed the half day Muir Woods tour to Sausalito

I really enjoyed the half day Muir Woods tour to Sausalito. Lars was a great guide, friendly and punctual and provided great commentary on the neighborhoods we drove through, across the bridge and on to Muir Woods.

I really enjoyed the half day Muir Woods tour to Sausalito. Lars was a great guide, friendly and punctual and provided great commentary on the neighborhoods we drove through, across the bridge and on to Muir Woods. Even though I've been to San Francisco quite a few times, I still learned lots of new things! We even squeezed in a Golden Gate Bridge photo stop! Before we got to Muir Woods, Lars gave us lots of information about the area and when we got there we had almost a full 2 hours to walk around the woods on our own - note though, we each had to pay $10 admission to enter the woods, it's the new Muir rules. After the woods, we went to Sausalito where you could get the ferry or drive back with Lars into the city. If we headed back into the city, we had about 45 minutes in Sausalito which was plenty of time for a quick bite or a stroll up and down the main street. Lars was kind enough to drop me off exactly where I wanted to go in Fisherman's Wharf which was much appreciated. The tour was exactly what I wanted with Muir Woods, a taste of Sausalito and a value added tour guide!

Steve was an awesome tour guide

My husband and I had a great morning tour of The San Francisco area, heading into Muir Woods, Steve was an awesome tour guide. Our last stop was Sausalito, a beautiful city on the water, we had the option to stay there the rest of the afternoon.

Hillary Grabowsk, Google

My husband and I had a great morning tour of The San Francisco area, heading into Muir Woods, Steve was an awesome tour guide. Our last stop was Sausalito, a beautiful city on the water, we had the option to stay there the rest of the afternoon. I recommend that option if your schedule allows. We had a great lunch at Scoma's (recommended by Steve) with views overlooking the bay. Plus there is great shopping in the city. You can take a ferry ride back into San Francisco. We highly recommend the AM Muir Woods Tour, the price was also very reasonable.

Fantastic day with Ross!

Our Muir Woods tour guide was Ross and he picked us up on time, was extremely friendly, and had great tidbits of extra information for us along the way. Ross took us on a "surprise" detour to a lookout point so that we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline.

Our Muir Woods tour guide was Ross and he picked us up on time, was extremely friendly, and had great tidbits of extra information for us along the way. Ross took us on a "surprise" detour to a lookout point so that we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline. The tour itself was great; we had about 2 hours to ourselves in the woods early in the morning (which was great because by the time we were finishing up, it was becoming crowded), then we headed to Sausalito for lunch with the option to stay longer and take a ferry back on our own. While on the tourbus Ross gave us background and useful information, and then once we were in the woods or in Sausalito we were given our own free time to explore at our leisure.

Our tour guide was excellent.

Very knowledgeable and very amusing. Kept us entertained throughout. Well worth it. I also recommend the ferry trip back from Sausalito to San Francisco. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and excellent views of the Golden Gate Bridge. All in all an excellent tour.

Very knowledgeable and very amusing. Kept us entertained throughout. Well worth it. I also recommend the ferry trip back from Sausalito to San Francisco. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and excellent views of the Golden Gate Bridge. All in all an excellent tour. The Woods of course speak for themselves! Not enough time spent in them is the only downside of the day.

This was a great tour from beginning to end!

The driver was great and maneuvered the bus through the winding roads of Muir Woods with ease! The tour was organized and very COVID friendly. Beautiful sites and smells of California.

Susan Rigby, TripAdvisor

Wonderful time in Muir Woods!

We had a great time at muir Woods. The bus ride up was great and the return ferry ride back was an excellent way to see the bay!

Lisa Smith, TripAdvisor

Great trip to a gorgeous place.

We didn’t realize the return trip included an hour and 1/2 stop in Sausalito which was plenty of time to walk around and take photos. Also the stop to take pictures of the GG Bridge was outstanding. Jerry, our driver/guide provided interesting commentary and recommendations along the way. All in all, a most enjoyable day trip.

Elizabeth Tanaka, TripAdvisor

Bus ride to Muir Wood with tour guide is great

You learn some history of the places. Muir Woods is beautiful. Sausalito has great places to shop and eat. Ferry ride from Sausalito to SFO was also beautiful. More time in Muir Woods would have been better.

Rizzel Pineda, TripAdvisor

Tour was super easy to book and communicate with staff

My boyfriend and I did the bus tour to Muir woods from the Zaphry hotel and then elected to book a ferry from Sausalito back to Pier 39. We parked in the pier 39 parking structure (cost $60) and then walked to the hotel. Our tour guide, Tammy was amazing!

Amanda876876, TripAdvisor

My boyfriend and I did the bus tour to Muir woods from the Zaphry hotel and then elected to book a ferry from Sausalito back to Pier 39. We parked in the pier 39 parking structure (cost $60) and then walked to the hotel. Our tour guide, Tammy was amazing! Super fun and made the trip! Had about 1 hour and 40 minutes to enjoy Muir woods. Highly recommend. We had to change plans last minute for pickup and the staff easily assisted us without issue. Had a great time!!

Note: you will be responsible for transportation from Pier 41 back to your hotel.

Where do we stop for lunch? How long is the stop?

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

  • The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
  • The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
  • The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

The most beautiful of all the world's cities - lady Moscow invites you out on a date!

bus tour to muir woods

  • DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

  • BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
  • niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019

  • Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

  • Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018

  • WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018
