San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Paul_R, Aug 2026

Such a wonderful experience!

This was a great experience! The views from the boat are beautiful. You travel right under the Golden Gate Bridge. Its very relaxing with a free drink and music playing. The crew was very friendly. They even offer jackets if you get cold. Highly recommended!

Nice tour but forsure...

Nice tour but forsure bring a jacket as it gets very cold on the water and sitting outside. You can go inside the boat but not as good pictures if that's what your looking for. They did have refreshments for purchase so the coffee and hot chocolate was good to warm the hands.

Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Full-Day Tour from San Francisco

San Francisco Super Saver: Muir Woods & Wine Country w/ optional Gourmet Lunch

Kerry_G, Aug 2026

We had a great day on...

We had a great day on this tour! We loved walking around Muir Woods. We also enjoyed Mayo winery, and Cline the best. Our tour guide Dustin was incredible! He was funny & informative. As a California native, he had lots of great recommendations as well! We purchased the tickets for Muir Woods through the tour, but it didn’t save us any time in doing so. There was only 1 line to both purchase tickets and show prepurchased tickets. Would have made more sense to have 2 lines where folks who paid for the admission ahead of time could go in first. Additionally, we were curious what kind of footwear to wear for the Muir Woods part - our Birkenstocks worked just fine. The trails are either boardwalks or flat trails. You can hike a bit if you want, but I don’t believe there would be enough time to get back to the bus to depart for Sonoma. We enjoyed a lunch at one of the restaurants in Sonoma Plaza, the red grape. We enjoyed a delicious pizza on the back patio. We didn’t have enough time to explore the plaza. We would suggest checking out the restaurant options in Sonoma Plaza ahead of time to save you time when you arrive for lunch. There wasn’t time to walk around and check out menus once we got there. Perhaps on a weekday it might be possible, but we were there on a Saturday and it was rather crowded in general. Overall we had a great time exploring outside of San Francisco! Dustin was wonderful and we enjoyed many delicious wines!

Great Sailing Boat Activity

This was the best sailing boat activity. We were so glad that we picked this company. The sailboat was clean, not too many people, and after getting launched we could sit up front. The ride was peaceful, beautiful, we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, the workers were kind and seemed to like their job. There wasn't too much noise which was refreshing - no loud music, etc. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Great experience with family seniors and kids alike

It was great. I had a really good time with my parents and my niece, and it was such a nice opportunity to spend quality time together, make memories, laugh, and simply enjoy each other’s company. If you want to experience the top of the boat, definitely bring layers because the wind is very strong, and something to tie your hair back!.

Catherine_T, Jul 2026

Book this now!

We chose to book the bottomless mimosa brunch cruise one day on our girls trip - what a time we had! Well worth the money for such a great experience. The food was amazing , the glasses stayed full, and the staff were great! The captain even came around to introduce himself and took us up into the bridge for a tour. Highly recommend!

Wonderful time on Muir Woods/Sausalito Tour

Wonderful trip to Muir Woods and Sausalito with our bus driver/ tour guide, George. George was a delight as he shared information and stories about the areas we drove through on our way to and from both locations. We learned so much about San Francisco and the bay area. My 84-year old mother and I decided to take the ferry option back to San Francisco and loved that as well.

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

Foggy sunset sail cruise

Great experience. Just know for seniors, there is limited "normal" seating. Captain Dave was awesome, making sure we, as seniors, had the only bench seating. Dave and Mike were very friendly and open to questions. This is not a "guided" tour, so if you want to know something, ask! It was cold, windy and a little choppy, and we didn't see a sunset, but motored under the GG Bridge, then sailed back! Very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

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:-)
