Description
Discover the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, and Point Reyes on a guided tour. Enjoy a farm-to-table lunch (not included) in Point Reyes Station and taste mead at Heidrun Meadery.
Embark on a full-day adventure exploring the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, Point Reyes Station, Point Reyes National Seashore, and ending with a mead tasting at Heidrun Meadery.
Begin with a scenic drive across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, where you’ll have a chance to capture stunning views of the San Francisco skyline and Pacific Ocean. From there, head to Muir Woods National Monument, home to some of the tallest and oldest coastal redwoods. Wander through tranquil, shaded trails as you take in the grandeur of these ancient giants.
After your redwood immersion, travel along the picturesque Highway 1 to the quaint town of Point Reyes Station. Here, have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the town’s local cafes, known for their fresh, farm-to-table cuisine and artisanal products.
After lunch, venture into Point Reyes National Seashore, stopping first at the Cypress Tree Tunnel—a magical grove of Monterey cypress trees that arch overhead to create a natural passageway. Next, continue to the dramatic cliffs and coastal views of the Point Reyes Lighthouse or Chimney Rock, depending on your group’s preference.
Take in sweeping ocean vistas and, if the season is right, keep an eye out for elephant seals basking on the shore or whales migrating along the coast. The final stop of the day is at Heidrun Meadery, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of meads made from locally sourced honey. Sip on unique flavors while learning about the process of fermenting honey into wine, set against the serene backdrop of the Marin County countryside.
As the day winds down, relax on the comfortable ride back to San Francisco, passing through the lush landscapes and ranches that dot the region. This tour offers an ideal blend of nature, culture, and local flavors, making it a perfect escape from the city for travelers looking to experience the best of Northern California’s coastal beauty and culinary delights.
