Introduction
Cover three iconic Bay Area experiences in one day. Start by journeying to Muir Woods to stroll among the towering coastal redwood trees – a serene walk in an ancient forest. Next, enjoy a stop in Sausalito, a lovely town by the bay, where you can wander the boutique shops and soak in waterfront views. Return to San Francisco and catch the ferry to Alcatraz Island, where a ticket is reserved for you. On Alcatraz, explore the infamous prison with the excellent self-guided audio tour, learning about former inmates and escape attempts. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy nature, local charm, and history all in a single outing.
