MOST POPULAR: Bike The Bridge to Sausalito/Tiburon

Bike the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and Tiburon and return on the ferry! Our goal is to make your bike ride the best part of your trip to San Francisco. Biking the bridge is a fun and enjoyable activity for the beginner to the advanced rider. It’s easy pedaling on the new and scenic National Park Bike Path from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge. You’ll cross the bridge on the sidewalk, then coast downhill into Sausalito for fabulous seaside dining before catching the ferry back to San Francisco. But if you haven’t had enough fun, the ride only gets better from there! Visit some of the world’s tallest trees in Old Mill Park and continue along the Bay to the picturesque town of Tiburon from where you can also relax on the ferry back to San Francisco. We also offer a Guided Tour to Sausalito for $59.
