Overview

Epic San Francisco Experience! Begin with a thrilling guided bus tour across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, offering stunning views of the bay. Or grab a 40-minute bike rental to cruise the vibrant streets, waterfront, or even across the bridge itself. Explore hidden neighborhoods or famous landmarks like a local—free and fearless. Alternatively, enjoy a 1-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise to see the bridge, Alcatraz, and city skyline from the water.

Next, take a ferry to Alcatraz Island with your prepaid ticket—no waiting in sold-out lines! Immerse yourself in a 3-hour audio tour, exploring the eerie corridors and haunting history of the notorious “Rock” at your own pace.

    Alcatraz Island

    Once you take the ferry over to Alcatraz Island and you are dropped off, you will make your way up to the main prison building, where you receive an audio headset, and the audio tour will guide you through the Alcatraz Prison. Once the audio tour is over, you can continue taking pictures and exploring the Island, or you can walk back down to the ferry landing and hop on the next ferry headed back to San Francisco. The Alcatraz tour typically takes 2-3 hours to enjoy.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Alcatraz Inside tour with Round trip ferry & Audio App Packages?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
