Sausalito Day Trip: HOHO + Ferry

Sausalito is an easy and scenic add-on to a HOHO day. Many HOHO routes stop near the Ferry Building or Embarcadero where you can catch the Sausalito ferry.

Why go to Sausalito?

  • Waterfront dining and galleries.
  • Short hikes and shoreline views of the Golden Gate.
  • A calmer contrast to busy Fisherman’s Wharf.

Suggested flow

  1. Use HOHO to reach the Embarcadero/Ferry Building midday.
  2. Board the ferry to Sausalito (check schedule) and arrive in ~30–40 minutes.
  3. Walk the waterfront, have lunch, visit small shops.
  4. Catch a late-afternoon ferry back and meet your HOHO bus again if needed.

Money saver

  • Look for HOHO + ferry combos or use a 2-day HOHO pass and buy a single ferry ticket separately — sometimes cheaper than branded combos.

Quick packing notes

  • Sunscreen + windbreaker.
  • Camera with wide-angle for bridge views.
