Overview
Ride Into the Wild & Escape to Alcatraz – All in One Epic Day!
Saddle up for a thrilling, all-in-one adventure combining two unforgettable California bucket-list experiences: a horseback ride on a secluded beach and a guided tour of Alcatraz Island, the world-famous former prison.
Begin your journey with a scenic drive along California’s dramatic Pacific Coast Highway to a historic family ranch located between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. It’s the only coastal stable offering horseback access to a hidden beach through rolling hills and wildflower-filled canyons. Perfect for beginners and seasoned riders alike!
Then, return to San Francisco and cruise across the bay to legendary Alcatraz Island. Your package includes ferry tickets, entrance to the prison, and a self-guided audio tour of its fascinating history.
Hotel pickup, horseback ride, and Alcatraz experience are all included—plus an extra hour at no charge to relax and enjoy your perfect day!
