Description:

Stroll through dappled sunlight under the mighty branches of towering redwoods, cruise by sleepy marinas, and enjoy a fascinating visit to one of the world's most infamous islands. On this excursion, check out the trees in the Muir Woods, the boats in Sausalito, and the iron bars at Alcatraz.

Kick off your adventure with a scenic ride over the saffron towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, and take in 360-degree views of the bay, the city, and the Pacific Ocean's blue horizon. Arrive at the forests of Muir Woods Natural Monument and take a few hours to stroll along trails surrounded by massive redwoods that reach up to 258 feet (79 m) high. Learn about famed naturalist John Muir, who worked tirelessly to protect the nation's wild spaces.

Afterward, head toward Sausalito for an up-close look at the charming cottages and adorable cafes that line its quiet bayside shores. Get a unique perspective of San Francisco from here before crossing back into the city.

Catch a ferry to the rocky banks of Alcatraz Island and disembark for an intriguing tour of its criminal past. Hear stories about famous inmates including Al Capone, and wander the halls between cramped cells and protected guard houses. When you're done, head back to shore by ferry where you can wrap up your tour with a bite to eat at the beloved Boudin Bakery & Cafe.
