This tour is a chance to experience all that Northern California has to offer- giant redwoods, a stunning coastline, tiny railroad towns, Hollywood movie locations, and wonderful views of San Francisco. You begin the day at Armstrong Woods, where you will walk among the oldest and largest trees on the planet Armstrong is a lesser-known Bay Area jewel that is not traveled by large groups of tourists, so it feels like the trees are there just for you. You will purchase lunch in the old railroad town of Guerneville and, weather permitting, take it to go picnic on the beach. You will spend time at Goat Rock, which many recognize from the film “The Goonies”. We then drive along the coast and stop for breathtaking views, sea lions, and perhaps even see some migrating whales, depending on the season. We make our way to Bodega Bay where Hitchcock filmed “The Birds”. The day ends in Sausalito, a lovely town on the San Francisco Bay with magical views of the city. Then, you can decide if you want to return with the tour organizer or take a 30-minute ferry ride back to San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.
