Attention Bay Area Pre-K to 3rd Grade Elementary School Teachers!
From December 1 - December 12, 2025, bring your Pre-K to 3rd Grade class for a fun-filled (and free!) field trip on board Golden Gate Ferry.
Here's How it Works:
Step 1: Review our schedules to select the day and route that works best for you within that date range (Dec. 1 - 12). Golden Gate Ferry operates service between San Francisco and Angel Island, Larkspur, Sausalito, and Tiburon.
Step 2: You must register your trip two weeks in advance, but act soon, as spaces fill up quickly.
Step 3: We recommend one chaperone per 10 children for this event.
Step 4: This field trip is limited to Pre-K to 3rd Grade classes.
Step 5: PLEASE BRING PRE-MADE DECORATIONS FOR YOUR FIELD TRIP! Decorations for the ferry must be pre-made and will be hung as the boat is crossing the Bay.
Step 6: To schedule your trip, email cmartinez@goldengate.org, or call our customer service team at 415-455-2000 at least two weeks prior to your desired date.
Below are some photos from last year's holiday decoration outings.
