No. If you’re joining one of our Muir Woods tours where the park entrance fee is not included, there’s no need to reserve tickets in advance through the Muir Woods website. Our tour vehicles have authorized access to Muir Woods, and all guests purchase their entrance tickets upon arrival at the park. Your guide will explain the process and make it quick and easy.
Purchasing your ticket at the entrance does not delay the tour, as this is part of the normal check-in process for all guests.

The National Park Service also offers free admission for eligible visitors, including:

What Payment Methods Are Accepted at Muir Woods?
Where does the tour start?
Your adventure begins at 2715 Hyde St., one of the easiest and most scenic locations to start a ride in San Francisco. When you arrive, we’ll check you in, get you fitted for the right bike, provide a detailed map, and walk you step-by-step through the route to Sausalito.
The check-in process is friendly and straightforward, and our team will make sure you understand exactly where you’re going and feel fully confident before you begin your self-guided ride toward the Golden Gate Bridge.
What time should I arrive for the bike portion?
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows us to adjust your seat, set you up with the right bike or e-bike, review safety basics, walk you through the route options, and answer any questions you may have — without rushing.
Arriving early ensures your day starts smoothly and at a relaxed pace.
Is the bike ride to Sausalito difficult?
The ride is considered moderate, with a few hills leading up to the Golden Gate Bridge. Most guests with average fitness complete it comfortably when riding at their own pace.
If you’re concerned about stamina, hills, or wind, choosing an e-bike is highly recommended — it makes every climb feel effortless and allows you to enjoy the views rather than push through the terrain.
How long is the bike ride to Sausalito?
The route from Fisherman’s Wharf to downtown Sausalito is roughly 9 miles, and most guests complete it in 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how often they stop for photos, viewpoints, or breaks.
We’ll provide a detailed map, route instructions, and verbal guidance so you always know exactly where you’re going.
Do I have to ride back to San Francisco?
No — this tour is designed specifically so you only ride one way.
You’ll end your ride in Sausalito, drop off your bike at our designated location (included in your tour price), enjoy time in the town, and then meet our shuttle for a comfortable ride to Muir Woods.
No hills on the way back and no need to bike uphill or across the bridge twice.
How difficult is biking across the Golden Gate Bridge? Is it safe?
Biking the Golden Gate Bridge is very safe and is one of the most popular activities in San Francisco. The bridge has a designated bike-only lane separated from cars.
Before you leave, we’ll explain:
- Which side of the bridge is open to bikes at that time of day
- How to safely share the lane with other cyclists and walkers
- What to expect when crossing in windy or foggy conditions
- Where to stop for the best and safest photos
Tens of thousands of visitors ride across the bridge every year — with our guidance, it’s easy and enjoyable.
How long do I have in Sausalito before the shuttle arrives?
Our shuttle meets you in Sausalito around 2:00 PM, giving most riders plenty of time to enjoy the town after arriving. Depending on your riding speed, you’ll likely have 30–90 minutes to relax.
Guests typically use this time to:
- Have lunch or a drink by the water
- Stroll the boutique shops and galleries
- Take photos of the marina and Bay
- Enjoy a peaceful break before heading to Muir Woods
Your confirmation email includes the exact shuttle meeting point and pick-up time.
Where does the shuttle pick me up in Sausalito?
We’ll send a clear map and written directions showing exactly where the shuttle meets you. The pick-up spot is easy to find and just a short walk from the bike drop-off location.
Our team will also review this with you before you leave the shop.
How long do we spend at Muir Woods?
You’ll have up to 90 minutes inside Muir Woods. This is the ideal amount of time for:
- Walking the famous Redwood Creek Trail
- Visiting Cathedral Grove
- Exploring footbridges, quiet forest paths, and fern-lined boardwalks
- Taking photos and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere
The trails are well-marked, mostly flat, and suitable for all ages.
Do I need a reservation for Muir Woods?
No — we handle the national park parking permit for you, which is normally required for all vehicles entering Muir Woods. The only additional cost is the entrance fee of $15 per person, which you can pay easily with cash or card upon arrival.
Where does the shuttle drop us off after Muir Woods?
After exploring the redwoods, the shuttle returns you directly to Fisherman’s Wharf, close to where your day began. You won’t need to navigate public transportation or rideshares unless you prefer to.
Can I bring children on this tour?
Yes — children are welcome as long as they are confident riders who can safely navigate a bike path.
We offer kids’ bikes, tag-alongs, and some child-friendly equipment (limited availability), but please let us know during booking so we can prepare the right setup.
Muir Woods is especially family-friendly, making this a great adventure for active families.
What type of bike is included? Can I upgrade to an e-bike?
You may choose from:
- Regular bikes, ideal for riders who want a classic, scenic cruise
- E-bikes, recommended for guests who want to make hills feel effortless
- Kids’ bikes, for young riders who are comfortable biking independently
Upgrading to an e-bike can make the day significantly more relaxing, especially if you’re not used to hills or long rides.
What should I bring with me?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, and layers, since San Francisco’s weather can shift quickly between neighborhoods.
Bring water, snacks, sunglasses, and sunscreen, as well as a camera or phone for photos.
Every bike includes a handlebar bag or rear rack, plus a helmet, lock, and detailed map.
What if I arrive early or late to the shuttle?
If you arrive early, you’re free to relax in Sausalito, enjoy the waterfront, or explore nearby cafés and shops.
If you’re running late, call us immediately.
We’ll do everything we can to assist you and help you connect with the shuttle. Communication is key — we’ve helped thousands of guests stay on track.
What if I have a mechanical issue during my ride?
We provide full support throughout the day. You’ll receive:
- A direct phone number to contact us instantly
- Real-time troubleshooting for minor issues
- Replacement bikes in Sausalito if available
- Assistance at our Sausalito drop-off point
Mechanical issues are rare, and most can be resolved quickly so you can keep enjoying your day.
What should I expect at Muir Woods?
Muir Woods is a peaceful, majestic Redwood forest with well-maintained trails suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Expect towering trees, quiet pathways, bridges over the creek, and the calming sound of nature. Cellular service is limited — a great opportunity to unplug and enjoy one of California’s natural treasures.
What if the weather is foggy or windy?
Fog and wind are part of the San Francisco experience, especially near the Golden Gate Bridge — and often make for incredible, dramatic photos.
If fog is thick or wind picks up, we’ll recommend small route adjustments or tips to keep you comfortable. Muir Woods is often warmer and sheltered, offering a nice contrast to coastal weather.
What if my plans change?
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours prior to your tour. If something changes, just let us know — we’re flexible and happy to help you rebook or modify your plans.
Can I store belongings at your shop?
Yes — we offer complimentary storage for small personal items at our Fisherman’s Wharf shop. Anything larger (luggage, large backpacks, etc.) can be discussed with our staff on the day of your tour.
How long does the full experience take?
Plan for roughly 6–7 hours total, including biking, exploring Sausalito, the Muir Woods shuttle ride, time inside the forest, and the return to San Francisco.
Can I take the ferry instead of the shuttle?
For this specific product, the shuttle is included and is the required transportation to Muir Woods. You may take the ferry back from Sausalito another day if you choose, but the day-of timing relies on the shuttle schedule.
Can I bring food or drinks to Muir Woods?
Yes — sealed snacks and water bottles are allowed, and there is a small café near the entrance. Please remember that food is not permitted on the trails themselves to protect wildlife.
Are bathrooms available along the bike route?
Yes — our map marks restroom locations at Crissy Field, the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center, and in Sausalito.
