Why We Love This Unique Experience
Experience the breathtaking beauty of the California coast and ancient Redwoods on a Small Group Day Trip from San Francisco. This unforgettable journey takes you to some of the most stunning natural sights in Northern California. Escape the bustling city and immerse yourself in lush landscapes, towering trees, and charming coastal towns, all while enjoying a personalized small group atmosphere that enhances the adventure.
The day begins with an awe-inspiring stroll through the Armstrong Redwood State Reserve, where 1,500-year-old Redwoods rise majestically overhead. Unlike the crowded Muir Woods, Armstrong offers a peaceful sanctuary where you can truly appreciate the grandeur of these ancient giants. After soaking up the serene environment, head to a quaint timber town to enjoy a delicious lunch. Depending on the weather, a picnic on the beach along the spectacular California coastline is an option, allowing the sound of waves to accompany your meal. The day culminates in the picturesque town of Sausalito, where dazzling views of the San Francisco skyline provide a perfect backdrop for exploration. Guests can choose to return with the group or take a scenic ferry ride back to Fisherman’s Wharf, making for an exceptional ending to a remarkable day.
This day trip is more than just a tour; it’s an experience that creates lasting memories. Perfect as a gift for nature lovers, adventure seekers, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of California, this excursion captures the heart and soul of the region. Delight a loved one with this fantastic adventure, where every moment spent among the Redwoods and coastal beauty will leave them with stories to share for years to come!

Experience Overview:
Small Group Redwoods, California Coast & Sausalito Day Trip From San FranciscoWe begin the day at Armstrong Woods, where you will walk among the oldest and largest trees on the planet. The park has 1500 year old, 300-foot Redwoods beauties that offer an awe-inspiring stroll through one of the most unique forests in Northern California. We purposefully choose NOT to go to the more known Muir Woods, which is overrun with crowds and prevents our guests from fully enjoying the majesty of the Redwoods. Instead, we go to Armstrong, which has older and taller trees, and far less crowds for a more private experience.
We will travel to a small timber town where we will purchase lunch and, weather permitting, go picnic at the beach as we travel down the spectacular California coastline.
The day ends in Sausalito — a lovely town on the San Francisco Bay with magical views of the city. Then, you can decide if you want to return with us or take a 30-minute ferry ride back to San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.
