Please make a note in the “Have Special Needs?” section when booking your reservation if you require this assistance. Please specify which language.

### How difficult is the Muir Woods hike?

### I’m traveling with a child; do I need to bring a child seat?

For your child’s safety, all vehicle tours require child safety seats or a booster for every child under eight (8) years of age or 4′ 9″ in height. If you need assistance arranging for a safety seat, please leave a comment in the “Have Special Needs?” section when booking your reservation.
