Golden Gate Bridge to Ft Point and SF Ferry

This tour can be an out and back, or you can choose to go one way and take the ferry from San Francisco back to Sausalito.

Point, Palace of Fine Arts, the Lucasfilm Campus and Disney Museum along the way. At the Ferry building you have the option to take the Ferry back to Sausalito.
