Magical Muir 🫈
⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great time on our Muir Woods and Sausalito tour! Dustin was our driver and tour guide, and he really made the experience.He was funny, energetic, knowledgeable, and genuinely entertaining throughout the entire trip. He shared lots of interesting information along the way without ever making it feel like a history lecture, and he paced the day really well. We never felt rushed, but still felt like we got to experience everything we hoped to.Muir Woods was absolutely beautiful, Sausalito was a wonderful addition to the day, and Dustin’s personality made the whole experience even more memorable.Four stars and definitely recommend, especially if you get Dustin as your guide!

Playing tourist - bucket list in mind
Had the best time ever, enjoyed all the history that was told, I got to do three things on my bucket list, which was the Golden Gate Bridge seeing Alcatraz and let’s not forget those seals right before you got on the boat thank you and I applaud you.

Great experience… highly recommend due to all areas at the lake are either private property or have a fee to get in. Also limited parking at Emerald Cove so we were not able to do the hike. Boat tour got us right where we needed to be.

A beautiful day in Long Beach. Calm seas, sunshine (don't forget your sunscreen!), light breezes, sparkling water. We rode on the open top level at the rear which was good because it blocked some of the traveling wind.

We travelled from NY just to experience SF Bay
We parked in pier 39 parking garage a few hours before our cruise and enjoyed the area. Lots of things for families with pre teen age kiddos to enjoy prior to departure. We boarded our boat and received a wonderful naration of the local area landscape from the bays point of view.
