| Your Arrival and Ground Transportation |
Our Arrival and Ground Transportation page describes how you can travel from your point of entry
into the San Francisco Bay Area to your first night's stay in San Rafael, CA and the Reception in
San Anselmo, CA. Near the bottom of this page, we provide a general itinerary for the first evening, and
state our policy concerning the first night of stay. Please note that the general itinerary for the first evening
applies to our 5-day adventure tours, and may not be applicable to our 2-day weekend adventures.
Flying into San Francisco International Airport
Many of our guests fly into San Francisco International Airport (SFO). If you are flying into SFO, you will
need to take the Marin Airporter bus to the San Rafael Transit Center at 850 Tamalpais Street in San Rafael,
CA. Please click on the Marin Airporter links in this paragraph to familiarize yourself with the schedule,
boarding location, and rates for their service.
Flying into Oakland International Airport
Some of our guests fly into Oakland International Airport (OAK). If you are flying into OAK, you will need
to take the Marin Door-to-Door shuttle either to your first night's stay or to the Reception in San Anselmo.
This will depend upon your hour of arrival. Please click on the Marin Door-to-Door links in this paragraph
to familiarize yourself with the reservation policy, boarding location, and rates for their service.
Driving into the San Francisco Bay Area
From time to time, guests either get dropped-off at or drive to the Reception and assembly area. We are
located at 30 Cypress Avenue in San Anselmo, CA 94960. You may use Yahoo! Maps if you need
directions to our location. If you would like to leave your vehicle near here during your tour (or have other
questions), please Contact Us well in advance so that we may prepare a parking area for you.
Arriving by Amtrak Train
A few of our guests prefer historic, yet comfortable Amtrak rail travel in order to arrive into the SF Bay
Area. If this is your preference, please disembark Amtrak at its Emeryville Station (EMY), which is located
at 5885 Horton St. in Emeryville, CA. From EMY, you will need to take Marin Door-to-Door either to your
first night's stay or to the Reception in San Anselmo. Please click on the Marin Door-to-Door links in this
paragraph to familiarize yourself with the reservation policy, boarding location, and rates for their service.
Arriving by Greyhound Bus
Occasionally, some guests arrive into the SF Bay Area via Greyhound. Your point of arrival, in this case, is
the San Rafael Transit Center at 850 Tamalpais St. in San Rafael, CA.
Getting from the San Rafael Transit Center to the Inn & Reception
If you have flown into SFO and taken the Marin Airporter bus or have taken Greyhound Lines, then you will
arrive into the San Rafael-San Anselmo area at the San Rafael Transit Center. If you confirm your arrival
with us well in advance, we can meet you at the San Rafael Transit Center and take you to the inn. The
Passenger Loading Zone is located less than 50 yards to the southwest from where the Marin Airporter and
Greyhound buses arrive and depart. It is just 20 yards of the north from the Tamalpais Ave. and 2nd St.
intersection in San Rafael. Please ask the attendants for directions if needed. However, if we are returning
from another tour that afternoon or you arrive after 7PM PST on the orientation evening, then we may not
be available to meet you. Therefore, you may have to take one of the following local taxi services to the
Reception & Orientation at 30 Cypress Ave. in San Anselmo, CA 94960:
Belaire Cab of San Rafael (415) 456-1313
I M Taxi (415) 258-8112
North Bay Cooperative Taxi (415) 258-2800
Radio Cab (415) 485-1234
Southern Marin Taxi (415) 383-0640
Yellow Cab (415) 457-8294
The Taxi Loading Zone is located just 25 yards to the east from where the Marin Airporter and Greyhound
buses arrive and depart. In fact, it is just across the street from where you will disembark. Please ask the
attendants for directions if needed. During weekday business hours, a number of taxis will probably be
available and waiting for passenger pick-up. However, if you are arriving at the San Rafael Transit Center in
the evening or on a weekend day, you may want to call one of the taxi services above prior to your arrival to
arrange a pick-up.
Getting from OAK or EMY to the Inn & Reception
If you have flown into OAK or have taken Amtrak to its EMY Station, then you will arrive into the San
Rafael-San Anselmo area by taking the Marin Door-to-Door shuttle. If you board the shuttle prior to 5PM
PST, you will probably want to go to the inn prior to the reception. Please remember to click on the Marin
Door-to-Door link to book your reservation with them ahead of time. As soon as we have the minimum
number of guests for a given tour, we will provide you the precise address of the inn in San Rafael.
Generally around 7PM, we come by the inn to take our guests to the Reception & Orientation in San Rafael.
If you board the shuttle after 5PM PST, you will probably want to go directly to the Reception &
Orientation at 30 Cypress Ave. in San Anselmo 94960.
Arriving Late to or Departing Early from an Adventure Tour
If you plan on arriving one or more days late to a Wild West Cycling adventure, please notify us in advance.
By doing this, we can confirm our location upon your arrival with you and determine how you can meet up
with the group. Similarly, please notify us in advance if you plan to depart one or more days early from an
adventure tour. This way, we can try to accommodate your early departure from the group.
Final Morning Prior to Your Departure from the San Rafael/San Anselmo Area
For those that are flying back home from SFO or are returning home via Greyhound Lines, you will need to
begin your travels at the San Rafael Transit Center. If we are not too busy with another tour, we might be
able to drive you from the inn to the Transit Center. Otherwise, you will have to contact one of the local
taxi services, whose phone numbers are shown above.
If you will be flying out from OAK or taking Amtrak to return home, you should contact and reserve shuttle
service with Marin Door-to-Door.
Please Contact Us if you have any questions or requests concerning your arrival, departure, and ground
transportation.
