Experience the natural side of San Francisco, where the city meets the sea, on our easy-going walk along the San Francisco's northern waterfront. We walk on easy coastal trails and footpaths that offer a true escape from the bustling city streets, to refreshing panoramic bay views. Our guides offer a glimpse into the rich history of the Bay and Golden Gate, a story that goes back thousands of years to the settlements of Coastal Miwok and Oholone Indians, the 16th century European exploration of the California Coast, the establishment of forts and missions in the Spanish era, and the Mexican and US eras, including the Civil War and World Wars I and II.
Our three to four-hour Fisherman's Wharf to Golden Gate Bridge walk begins with a short visit to the historic boats and vessels of the Hyde Street Pier before heading west along the shoreline bordering the yacht-filled Marina Green. Continuing on to Crissy Field (a one-time military airfield) and its spectacular vistas of San Francisco Bay, we visit Fort Point, a Civil War-era military fort located dramatically just under the Golden Gate Bridge. We then climb up on a coastal trail to the Golden Gate Bridge Overlook for a unique view of one of the world's greatest landmarks. We return to the end of the Crissy Field near the Palace of Fine Arts, where the tour ends (public transportation available). Transportation to starting/ending point are not provided. Bring your own lunch and/or snacks.
