Up above, the Bay makes sense fast. This 60-minute deluxe seaplane flight out of Sausalito gives you a rare angle on Marin County and San Francisco at the same time, with Point Reyes National Seashore in the mix. The route…
Muir Woods plus big Golden Gate views in one day. This is a small-group day trip built for contrast: city viewpoints, a forest walk under ancient redwoods, and an end-of-day payoff at Battery Spencer. I especially like the way the…

Yosemite hits hard, even in one day. This private 15-hour plan takes you to the park’s greatest hits: Yosemite Valley viewpoints, the granite giants of Half Dome and El Capitan, plus time in Mariposa Grove to see large, old giant…
Golden Gate views come with a disco ride. This Lucky Tuk Tuk night tour moves you past SF’s big hits in a small, heated-seat Tuk Tuk, with lots of photo stops along the way. The one thing to watch is…
Point Reyes is better with a talking car. This self-guided audio route strings together hands-free GPS storytelling and offline maps, so you can keep moving even when cell service disappears. Two things I like a lot: the route is designed…
