We 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.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this tour? Would it be fun for a 10-year-old?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but it’s definitely kid-friendly! A 10-year-old would love the adventure of seeing the giant Redwoods and the picnic at the beach. Just be sure they’re up for some walking because you'll be doing a bit of hiking in Armstrong Woods. Parents have mentioned it’s a great experience for kids!

Q: How far in advance do you need to book? What if the weather is bad?

A: I'd recommend booking at least a week ahead to ensure you get a spot, especially on weekends. As for weather, if it's really bad, they usually try to reschedule rather than cancel. Just make sure to check the forecast and call them if you have concerns!

Q: What should we wear for the day trip? Hiking boots necessary?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes, preferably hiking or walking shoes. The trails can be uneven, and you want to enjoy the stroll without worrying about your feet! Layer your clothing too, as it can get chilly by the coast.

Anyone done the Redwoods and Sausalito trip? What's it like?

I’m thinking of booking the Small Group Redwoods and Sausalito day trip as a surprise for my partner’s birthday. We love nature, and the idea of seeing those 1500-year-old trees sounds amazing! How's the picnic lunch? Is there enough time to explore Sausalito afterwards?

Considering gifting the Redwoods trip, but need details!

I’m thinking of gifting this experience to my dad who loves hiking. How strenuous is the hike through Armstrong Woods? And is the tour good for someone who’s not super fit?
