Description

You will explore inside the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary on Alcatraz Island and learn about some of America’s most ruthless criminals, including Al Capone.

The ferry will leave on time at the specific time you booked. You have to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time at Pier 33. Walk, bike, take public transportation, or drive (as a last resort as it can be challenging to find parking), with easy access from anywhere around the Bay!

On the island, follow the 45-minute Cellhouse audio tour “Doing Time,” available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Also included is an amazing 1 hour SF Bay Cruise. Sail past the famous PIER 39 sea lions and along San Francisco’s historic waterfront, revealing the city’s fascinating skyline. You have the flexibility to go on your cruise on any day at any available departure. You will receive the schedule.

These are two separate tours.
