Visit Alcatraz Island by round-trip ferry

Cross San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island. Enter the notorious former federal penitentiary, explore the historic cellhouse at your own pace, and hear fascinating stories about the prison, its infamous inmates and life on 'The Rock' on the audio tour. Your Alcatraz ticket must be shown at the Pier 33 entrance at least 30 minutes before your scheduled entry time.
See the city from the water on a 60-minute bay cruise

Board a 60-minute San Francisco Bay cruise operated by Blue and Gold Fleet. Enjoy views of the waterfront, skyline, bridges and the surrounding bay from a completely different perspective.
Enjoy the sunset tour and a Chinatown walking tour

At dusk, take the 1-hour panoramic sunset bus tour and watch the city light up as evening falls. The sunset tour is a separate panoramic departure, not a hop-on hop-off tour, with pre-recorded English commentary. A digital Chinatown walking tour and a bike rental offer (rent for 1 hour, get 1 extra hour free) are also included.
