Muir Woods Tours and Tickets

Q: How long are Muir Woods tours?

Guided tours of Muir Woods National Monument typically take 1–2 hours to walk among the mighty redwood trees. If you book a tour that departs from San Francisco, you can expect the entire experience to take around 3.5 hours, including round-trip travel time.

Q: What is the best time to visit Muir Woods?

The best time to visit Muir Woods is from May to October, when the weather is mild and warm. To avoid summer crowds, visit in the early mornings or late afternoons. Early morning, when the trees are shrouded in thick fog, is a particularly magical time to visit.

Q: How much time do you need to spend at Muir Woods?

One to two hours is enough to visit the main areas of Muir Woods. However, if you plan to hike one of the longer trails that lead around the national monument, you should give yourself between three and five hours.

Q: Can you drive through Muir Woods without a reservation?

No. You cannot drive through Muir Woods since no road leads through the national monument. The old-growth redwoods are not visible from any road. Moreover, all drivers (and shuttle riders) must book entry tickets in advance. Book a guided tour to avoid the reservation system; if you feel adventurous, hike in.

Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry)

Melissa_W, Mar 2026

Would recommend!

Our driver/guide was very nice. We felt very safe going up and down the road to Muir Woods. He drove carefully and safely and provided us with a lot of interesting information along the way in relation to all of the things we were driving past. The charter bus was very clean and comfortable. Only issue was that the seat belts were quite stiff and difficult to put on and take off. Otherwise, it was a great experience! We also enjoyed our time in Sausalito and the ferry ride back to Pier 39.

Well organized and...

Well organized and excellent experience. The bus was new and clean with access to outlets. The driver was funny and informative. We had enough time in the Muir Woods and Sausalito. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in visiting both locations while visiting San Francisco. Really appreciated having this tour as an option, given that buses to Muir Woods were not available early in the year.

San Francisco City Tour

Comprehensive tour that gave a great overview of San Francisco, Muir Woods and a visit to Alcatraz. The tour guide Per, was very engaging and had excellent knowledge of the area, also liked the way that he blended his playlist to match the tour with artists that had either recorded tracks in the area or had recorded songs that had San Francisco in the title. GREAT Job, I would highly recommend Dylans Tours.

Great experience of SFO in one day

Our driver Jules was our guide as well. Lots of historical information given and iconic sites visited in SFO. Golden gate and Muir Woods were great but unfortunately Sausalito was not included on the day as per the tour booking due to time restrictions!.Alcatraz visit was at the end, a self guided audio tour after our guide instructed us re the pre-booked tickets and the ferry. Overall excelletnt tour and very well organised.
