Overview

This tour includes a visit inside Alcatraz Island with a round-trip ferry ride from Pier 33 in San Francisco. Guests receive an official ticket and a self-guided audio tour of the cell house, accessible on their personal devices. The Alcatraz portion lasts about two hours. Time slots for the Alcatraz ferry are assigned by the operator and fall between 8:45 AM and 4 PM; guests cannot choose their times. After returning to Pier 33, guests walk to Fisherman's Wharf to board a different boat for the same-day Golden Gate Bridge Bay Cruise. This cruise lasts between one and one and a half hours and travels along San Francisco’s waterfront, passes under the Golden Gate Bridge, and circles around Alcatraz Island. The cruise includes audio narration covering the history of San Francisco Bay and offers chances to see marine animals such as sea lions, pelicans, and occasionally whales. Both the Alcatraz audio tour and the Golden Gate Bridge narration are included. The entire experience takes approximately three hours. Transportation to and from the piers is not included, and guests must walk between Pier 33 and Fisherman's Wharf for the second boat. Guests who miss the Golden Gate Bridge cruise portion forfeit that activity without credit. No refunds are given for missed Alcatraz tours due to delays or other reasons.
