Alcatraz Night Tour with SF Bay Cruise
Overview
Experience the eerie ambiance of Alcatraz Island at night with an audio-guided tour, including a San Francisco Bay sightseeing cruise at your convenience.
Board the ferry for an exclusive night tour with live narration and a unique "around the island" route. See the Golden Gate Bridge silhouette at sunset, join a cell door demonstration, and hear captivating stories of former residents. Use an informative audio guide to explore Alcatraz's haunting history in multiple languages. Visit exhibits detailing the island's compelling past.
Also, enjoy an audio-narrated Bay sightseeing cruise on a comfortable boat with indoor and outdoor seating, passing landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge.
Please note: If you plan to take both tours on the same day, you must take the Bay Cruise before your Alcatraz tour. Otherwise, the Bay Cruise may be taken any other time or day according to the schedule.
