Overview

Get on Alcatraz Island! Go inside the historic prison! Explore the gardens. Discover the history & buildings dating to the US CIvil War. Watch a 20-minute documentary video.

The Alcatraz experience can feel a bit creepy but paradoxically inviting and beautiful (with unexpected gardens, fabulous views, and ocean breezes).

The award-winning audio tour is really well done. It runs like a good podcast documentary – but one you can see and feel – bringing this story-filled place alive.

You decide how fast or slow to go, as no ticketing is required to take a return ferry from the island (every 30 minutes). A tram is there to help guests with mobility issues get up and down the steep hill to the prison at the top of "The Rock."

Plus, any day you want, before or after your trip to Alcatraz, you can choose when to go on the San Francisco Bay Cruise --- taking you out on beautiful San Francisco Bay and UNDER the ever-amazing, rather imposing, and truly iconic Golden Gate Bridge!

Frequently Asked Questions

(7)

Q: Will I get seasick on Inside Alcatraz Prison and Under the Golden Gate Bridge?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
