Alcatraz Early Morning Access Tour with Lunch Credit
Overview
Visit Alcatraz Island and gain a head start before the large crowds arrive for the day on an early morning access tour followed by a relaxing lunch credit in Fisherman's Wharf to conclude your day. Ride the official boat to the island; go inside the main cell house to experience the award winning audio tour. Beat the large crowds and finish this attraction with more time in San Francisco in the afternoon on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
(7)Q: Will I get seasick on Alcatraz Early Morning Access Tour with Lunch Credit?
