It is easiest to fly into San Francisco Airport.

We recommend riding the Marin Airporter, it's comfortable and the view from the Golden Gate Bridge is gorgeous. The fare is $32.

Here is the link to buy tickets online.

Catch the Airporter bus outside of baggage claim, on the center island, and wait at the green and white stiped curb. Look for the sign saying 'Airporter.'

If you are staying in San Rafael, the best Airporter stop is Andersen Drive.

If you are staying at the Acqua Hotel, the closest stop is Manzanita.

Taxis are available from most Marin County airporter stops. The bus driver will call a taxi for you.

If you are staying in San Francisco, don't miss out on taking the Ferry to Sausalito! It's GORGEOUS!
