10/10 Tour

Excellent tour, lots of fun, definitely worth the early call time (coming from a night owl). We had an amazing time, tasted delicious wines, and appreciated the quiet of an early morning Muir woods stop. Ben was a great host (the title "guide" does no justice!) and appreciated his enthusiasm and personal touch to the day. We met such a fantastic group of people from all around the world, it really elevated our experience. As bay area residents, these areas are fairly familiar to us, but this tour truly expanded our appreciation for these places!

Great trip!

My first viator trip- and it was great! Sailing under the bridge and watching the sunset, as well as seeing a ton of other sailboats, wind surfers, and what I thought was a sea lion! It was quite chilly, but the boat had coats for everyone who wanted one. Thanks for a great experience!

This was my last night of...

This was my last night of my trip, and what a way to close it out. The cruise was a great experience - the captain and crew made sure every seat/view got to see the best pictures and scenery; they also pointed out whales and dolphins on the ride. The ship was clean and welcoming, and I can recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great experience!

Weekend Adventure

A relaxing & fun day! You have the option to stay indoors or go out on the decks. People start getting more relaxed after a few mimosas, and it makes it more fun for everyone. Music was great service was even better. I would suggest that you turn the volume down on the microphone in music as it was in a dangerous decibel.

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

Sunset Sail Through the Bay

My husband and I did a sunset sailing tour in San Francisco, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Even though there were other people on board, the seating is arranged in a way that feels more private—kind of a horseshoe layout—so it still felt like an intimate experience. What we really loved is that it wasn’t a guided tour with constant narration. It made the whole experience feel more relaxed and romantic since we could just enjoy the moment and talk with each other without interruptions. Captain Dave was great—very knowledgeable and clearly focused on keeping everything smooth and safe. The first mate, Mike, was also fantastic. He was super attentive, offered to take photos for us (which we really appreciated), and made sure we had everything we needed, including drinks. The two included drinks were a nice touch, with options like wine, beer, soda, and water. The route was beautiful—we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz, and back to Pier 39—and the timing was perfect. The sunset gave us all the stages, from golden light to full sunset, and it lasted right around two hours. Overall, it was such a special experience, and we would absolutely do it again.

Well-paced excursion to key sites around San Francisco

Great excursion that allows for seeing and exploring some key San Francisco area attractions at a comfortable pace. Don was an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend booking the ferry returned from Sausalito for a different view of the harbor, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the piers at Fisherman’s Wharf.

The tour was exactly what...

The tour was exactly what was presented on the website. We did not expect a tour guide but we did get some very informative sailors. The captain and first mate were exceptional and gave a wonderful trip around the bay. Two things they couldn’t control were the low winds and flies:-)
