Hotel Pick-up and Crossing Golden Gate Bridge

Your VIP tour begins in VIP style, with pickup directly from your hotel in central San Francisco. In a comfortable custom vehicle which allows great views of your surroundings, your friendly local driver-guide will take you over the Golden Gate Bridge and into the natural wonders of Marin County.

Please contact us after booking with your hotel name for pick-up. We'll reach out with an alternative meeting point if your hotel isn't covered.

Muir Woods National Monument

The first stop is the Muir Woods National Monument. Dedicated to the famed environmentalist John Muir, the park is a serene area home to hundreds of Coastal Redwood trees. Spend over an hour under the canopy of the Sequoias, taking in the trees that rise to nearly 300 feet and have seen over a millennium of history.

At this time in the morning you'll be one of the first in the woods, a perfect time to take in the peace and serenity of the park. Beyond the iconic tress, you are likely to see black-tailed deer, chipmunks, coyotes, or even wild turkeys.

Scenic Drive Through Marin County

After your time in the redwood forests, you'll drive back out through the rolling green hills of the Tamalpais valley and into the Marin Headlands. Here roads cling to the cliffs above the Pacific ocean and Red-Tailed Hawks soar in the sky. You'll stop to see abandoned military bunkers, with beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline in the background.

Your journey will lead you to the coast, where the most exciting part of your morning awaits...

30-Minute Seaplane Flight over the Bay

Take off from the water on an exhilarating flight as your expert pilot whisks you off over the Marin headlands before crossing over the historic Golden Gate Bridge. Glide over the sights of Downtown San Francisco including the Oracle Park and the Chase Center, the respective home of the San Francisco Giants and Golden State Warriors. As you head back over the bay, you will head right over Alcatraz Island before landing back in Sausalito.

We can't think of a better way to see the city!

Organic Lunch, Sausalito, and San Francisco Ferry

On your return your guide will pop the cork on a champagne toast and you'll enjoy a locally-sourced, organic lunch in the Marin sunshine as you talk over the day’s adventure. Finally, you'll be dropped off in Sausalito to enjoy the village’s arty shops, funky houseboats, and charming cafes before boarding a ferry back to San Francisco’s Pier 39 when you're ready.
