Overview

This combined boat tour includes a visit to Alcatraz Island and a one-hour San Francisco Bay Cruise that passes under the Golden Gate Bridge. The Alcatraz portion begins with a ferry ride from Pier 33 to the island. Upon arrival, visitors take a brief ranger introduction before exploring the island and prison buildings at their own pace. Included is a 45-minute audio tour of the prison cellhouse available in several languages. After touring, guests can return on any ferry back to Pier 33. The Bay Cruise departs from Pier 39 near Fisherman's Wharf, a short walk from Pier 33. This 60-minute cruise circles Alcatraz Island, passes under the Golden Gate Bridge, and offers views of San Francisco’s waterfront, including sights like Coit Tower and Fisherman’s Wharf. The Bay Cruise ticket is valid for any date and departure time and can be used before or after the Alcatraz visit or on a separate day. The total tour duration ranges between two and five hours depending on how long visitors spend on Alcatraz Island. The package includes round-trip ferry rides to Alcatraz, official Alcatraz admission, the multi-language audio guide, and the Bay Cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge.
