San Francisco Wharf & Waterfront Segway Tour

San Francisco Wharf & Waterfront Segway Tour

See San Francisco's popular attractions like Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and Alcatraz Island on a fun Segway tour. First, learn how to operate your personal 2-wheeled Segway during a training session. Then, with an experienced guide, cruise along the San Francisco Bay and enjoy views of the Golden Gate Bridge and other waterfront highlights. Besides being very quiet, Segways are an eco-friendly way to tour the city as they are fully battery-powered. Plus, you get to see more sights than on a walking tour.

Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park

The Golden Gate Park is much more than just trees and walking paths. It houses multiple attractions, such as the California Academy of Sciences, the de Young Museum, the Stow Lake, the Dutch Windmill, and even the Japanese Tea Garden. Come with time to spare, and bring your bike along on a Sunday, when a large portion of the park is off limits to cars on John F. Kennedy Drive, allowing for 7.5 miles of cycling.

Golden Gate Bridge Guided Bicycle Tour

Golden Gate Bridge Guided Bicycle Tour

Ride from San Francisco to the city of Sausalito on a guided half-day bike tour that includes lunch and all-day bike rental.

Make regular stops at scenic spots for photos and rest breaks. Explore on your own after lunch with the convenient all-day bike rental.

Ferry Building Marketplace

Ferry Building Marketplace

After its opening in 1898, the Ferry Building became the transportation focal point. At its peak, as many as 50,000 people a day commuted by ferry. An elegant two-story public area with repeating interior arches and overhead skylights, the Ferry Building is a great place to be whether you're looking to dine, shop for fresh and local produce, or just look around. You'll find lots of delicious seafood restaurants along the back of the building where you can overlook the harbor. Don't miss Hog Island Oysters and Gott's Roadside. The farmers market takes place every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. As a city committed to environmental sustainability, every vendor here has adopted a sustainable mission, and therefore, sells mostly organic products. Speaking of eco-friendly practices, the Ferry Building has been working closely with the transit authority to support the revitalization of the waterfront and the wildlife that resides in the bay.

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks, named for a pair of 922-foot-high summits, is a residential neighborhood with winding streets and a grassy hilltop park. The wind-swept peaks (bring a jacket!) offer 360-degree views of the Bay area. If you want a cool and challenging urban hike, start in the Mission district and hike all the way up to the triple-pronged Sutro Tower antenna. Afterwards, reward yourself with something delicious in the Castro district.

Lands End Lookout

Lands End Lookout

Lands End is one of the most beautiful places in San Francisco. History combines with nature to create an absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean, the Golden Gate bridge, and the Ocean Beach. Come here towards the end of the day and take a look at the ruins of the ancient Turkish baths, and afterwards that take a scenic stroll along the path overlooking the Golden Gate bridge and the coast with the fog rolling in. Find a handy trail map on the website of the Lands End Lookout Visitor Center (link below).

Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach is located at the end of the Golden Gate Park and it is the perfect place to relax in the sun or even take a romantic walk around sunset listening to waves. On the weekend, if the weather is warm, it can get quite crowded but it is still worth a visit.
