How to get to Cavallo Point from the airports
From the airports, get to Sausalito (or the Sausalito Ferry Terminal) by shuttle, taxi/rideshare, or Marin Airporter, then use Cavallo Point’s shuttle/boat transfer and on‑site ground transport to reach the property — the resort handles the final water/land leg. Confirm pickup or shuttle reservations with Cavallo Point before arrival.

Overview: how airport arrivals reach Cavallo Point
Cavallo Point sits at Fort Baker on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge and the property is reached by the resort’s water-and-ground transfer rather than by a single continuous road journey from the airports. Plan your trip in two parts: land travel to Sausalito (or the Sausalito Ferry Terminal), then the resort’s final transfer.
If you need help coordinating that last leg, contact BookResorts agents (24/7) at +1 (888) 605-1350 or ask Cavallo Point’s concierge to confirm shuttle or pickup options before you arrive.
- Book land transport (taxi, rideshare, Marin Airporter, or rental car) from the airport to Sausalito or the ferry terminal.
- Reserve Cavallo Point’s shuttle/transfer in advance when possible — the resort’s shuttle runs to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal and Rodeo Beach on a scheduled basis.
- Confirm where to meet the boat/vehicle; Cavallo Point staff will advise the property-specific pickup location.
| Step | What to arrange |
|---|---|
| Airport → Sausalito / Ferry Terminal | Taxi, rideshare, Marin Airporter bus, or private transfer |
| Sausalito → Cavallo Point | Cavallo Point shuttle/boat transfer or arranged pickup |
| Need help | Call BookResorts +1 (888) 605-1350 or the Cavallo Point front desk/concierge |
From San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Common choices from SFO are Marin Airporter (public shuttle to Sausalito), taxi/rideshare, or a private car service to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal or a designated pickup point. Many travelers prefer Marin Airporter because Cavallo Point notes a connection and complimentary pickup from the bus stop.
Once in Sausalito, use Cavallo Point’s shuttle/transfer to reach the lodge’s water/land access point — reserve the resort shuttle well ahead of arrival and confirm the exact meeting location with the concierge.
- Marin Airporter bus from SFO to Sausalito (check schedule and fares) — Cavallo Point offers complimentary pickup from that stop.
- Taxi or rideshare directly to Sausalito/Ferry Terminal — then transfer with Cavallo Point shuttle.
- If you rent a car, ask Cavallo Point about where the resort recommends meeting for the boat/transfer; the property handles on‑site parking and guest drop‑off.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Marin Airporter to Sausalito | Cavallo Point provides complimentary pickup from the bus stop; reserve shuttle with the resort |
| Taxi / Rideshare | Drop-off at Sausalito Ferry Terminal or agreed meeting point for Cavallo Point transfer |
| Rental car | Confirm Cavallo Point arrival instructions for boat/transfer and on-site parking |
From Oakland (OAK) and San Jose (SJC)
From OAK or SJC, land transport options include taxi/rideshare or a private transfer to Sausalito or the ferry terminal. There is no single shuttle service from these airports that is guaranteed to link directly to Cavallo Point, so plan the connection with the resort in advance.
Because Cavallo Point handles the final water/land leg, confirm with concierge how they prefer guests to arrive in Sausalito (which pickup point or terminal) and whether the resort will meet you there.
- Arrange a taxi, rideshare, or private car from OAK or SJC to Sausalito.
- If you need a public-bus/rail combination, check local transit schedules and allow extra time for transfers; Cavallo Point does not operate a direct airport bus from these airports.
- Call the resort or BookResorts in advance to confirm where to meet the shuttle/boat transfer.
| Airport | Typical land options to Sausalito |
|---|---|
| Oakland (OAK) | Taxi, rideshare, private transfer to Sausalito |
| San Jose (SJC) | Taxi, rideshare, private transfer to Sausalito |
| Public transit | Possible but involves multiple connections; plan extra time |
Using public transit and ferries
Public transit into Sausalito (ferry from San Francisco, regional buses) gets you close to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal; from there Cavallo Point’s shuttle provides the last connection. The resort lists a complimentary shuttle to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal on its amenity list (Wednesday–Sunday; reservations required 12 hours in advance).
If you arrive by ferry, confirm the Cavallo Point pickup location and time with the concierge so the resort can schedule transfer from the ferry landing to the property’s access point.
- Public ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito → meet Cavallo Point shuttle at the Sausalito Ferry Terminal (reserve shuttle in advance).
- Regional buses or Marin Transit routes serve Sausalito; you'll likely need a short transfer to the ferry terminal or a resort pickup point.
- Always check Cavallo Point shuttle days/hours before relying on it for arrival connections.
| Transit leg | What to check |
|---|---|
| San Francisco ferry → Sausalito | Reserve Cavallo Point shuttle pickup at Sausalito Ferry Terminal |
| Regional bus → Sausalito | Confirm nearest stop and arrange short transfer to resort pickup point |
| Final transfer | Cavallo Point handles boat/ground transfer to the property; confirm timing |
Practical tips for planning your airport-to-resort transfer
Reserve the resort’s shuttle or transfer slot well before arrival when possible; Cavallo Point’s shuttle to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal and Rodeo Beach operates on a schedule and requires advance notice. If you expect to arrive outside typical shuttle times, arrange a taxi/rideshare to the agreed meeting point on the Sausalito side.
Bring a copy of your Cavallo Point reservation and the resort phone number when traveling. If spa access or specific services are critical to your visit, confirm those reservations separately — the Healing Arts Center & Spa requires scheduled bookings and has its own age and access rules.
- Call BookResorts +1 (888) 605-1350 or Cavallo Point concierge ahead of arrival to confirm pickup details.
- If traveling with pets, review Cavallo Point’s dog policy (dogs only; up to two per room; fee applies) before booking transfers.
- Allow extra time for transfers and for any ferry or shuttle schedules; public transit can add connection time.
| Before you go | Action |
|---|---|
| Confirm shuttle | Reserve Cavallo Point shuttle/transfer 12+ hours in advance when possible |
| Coordinate timing | Share your flight arrival time so the resort can plan pickup |
| Spa or pool | Book Healing Arts Center & Spa treatments separately (spa access rules apply) |
