Embark on a 90-minute cruise along the San Francisco waterfront, under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Angel Island State Park before circling Alcatraz Island for an in-depth view of the prison. Take in the sights and sounds of the island as you listen to ex-guards and former inmates tell their stories of murder, mayhem, and mobsters on an audio tour with historical photos via your smartphone, tablet or other WiFi-enabled device. This ticket allows you to skip the box office line and go straight to the gate.

It was a great experience seeing downtown SF, The Rock and the surrounding Bay Area from the boat. Take a light jacket and depending on which time of year, rain gear if you’re sightseeing from the upper deck. Go check it out.

A beautiful day to tour around the bay! 90 minutes is a perfect amount of time and the twice circle around the rock was great to get pictures on one pass and just observe in the second.

This is only a boat tour around the bay, the advertisement is not clear and it DOES NOT stop on Alcatraz. Can get the same views from SF for free.

The cruise was so beautiful and interesting I love that they gave some audio about the Alcatraz history with actual people explaining how it was for them.
