The package includes island admission, ferry travel, bike, helmet, and lock. You need reasonable fitness, sunscreen, water, and a plan for your return ferry.
“Well organised and no troubles getting on the ferry and locating our bike hire. Great value for money compared to the other options out there. We changed our dates a day before due to bad weather and it was able to be done straight away on the app which was great and meant we didn’t miss out and had a way better experience. We’re quite active and fit so manned to do the whole island but it did take the whole day (inc pic stops) so if you’re not quite as capable would recommend picking a couple of spots to check out so you have some time to relax and…”

Some of the route is very bumpy and so we had to bike along the sides but this made for a really fun cycle! Lots to see along the route and we even stopped to sit on the grass to have a picnic with wine. Would recommend. Route there and back was about 15-16km.”

“This is really the best experience/must have experience. I enjoyed the views all along the way and personally I wish I gave this ride more time because of the number of times I stopped on the way. So I would say give it about 2-3 hours if you're gonna stop for pictures, food and such (I hope you do). Sausalito seemed like a really pretty town but we didn't get to stop and explore. The most uncomfortable part of this trip was once the biking trail was done, we had to ride our bikes through the roads with cars speeding at 60. I wasn't aware/looking forward to that. A fellow…”
