Experience the awe-inspiring majesty of nature with our exclusive Muir Woods National Forest tour departing from the heart of San Francisco. This is your chance to step away from the urban bustle and immerse yourself in one of the world's most serene and ancient ecosystems.
As you wander through the tranquil trails of Muir Woods, you will stand in the shadow of California's iconic coastal redwoods. These towering giants are the tallest living things on planet Earth, some reaching heights of up to 258 feet (79 meters). Walking beneath the canopy of these 800-year-old sentinels, you will feel the profound silence and peace that only an old-growth forest can provide, sustained by the gentle temperate marine fog that rolls in from the Pacific.
This tour is designed for those who appreciate natural beauty and wish to see a rare, protected landscape that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking to recharge your spirit, this 30-minute immersive walk offers a unique perspective on the resilience and grandeur of the natural world.
During your visit, you will learn about the fascinating ecology of the redwoods and how they have survived throughout history. This tour is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Please note that this activity focuses on the walking experience within the forest. We recommend arriving prepared for cool, misty weather, as the microclimate in the canyon can be significantly cooler than in San Francisco. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of California's wilderness and witness the timeless beauty of the ancient redwoods.
Dress in layers as the temperature in the forest is often cooler and mistier than in downtown San Francisco.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes to fully enjoy the forest trails.
Arrive early to capture the best photos of the morning light filtering through the redwood canopy.
