Description
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square. Depart the former factory for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park and glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point. Weave your way to the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf as your guide prepares you for your evening spent at the notorious prison.
  • At Fisherman's Wharf, you'll stop at the famed Boudin Bakery for a crash course in San Francisco's beloved sourdough bread. Then use a less-beaten path through Pier 39 to get up close and personal with San Francisco's sea lions! After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing to depart for your ferry to the island.
  • Finally, you'll board the boat to the “Inescapable Island,” enjoying the wildly popular attraction with a small group of just eight guests maximum as tickets are extremely limited and highly sought after. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a Park Ranger as you walk to the cellhouse where you'll collect your audio guide. As you wander the island, you'll hear stories from former inmates, correctional officers, and even the children that once called Alcatraz Island home! Finally, as the sun begins to set, you'll board the ferry back to the City by the Bay.

Short Description
  • Experience, with exclusive access, the sealed prison of Alcatraz after nightfall. When all the other tourists have gone home, you and your small group have the island to explore! This experience is paired with an in-depth exploration of nearby Fisherman’s Wharf with a visit to Boudin Bakery - where San Francisco sourdough bread was invented and perfected.
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum-security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take walks through the essential San Francisco neighborhood of Fisherman’s Wharf with a stop at Boudin Bakery, and then load the ferry, wrapping around Alcatraz Island and then explore the former prison as night falls over the bay.
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square. Wander through the old factory grounds, where, in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco - we say bringing the “other” gold to the City by the Bay. Depart the square for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.
  • As you weave your way through, Alcatraz Island will appear and fade as we walk along, enticing you for your visit. With small interjections of Alcatraz lore, your guide will prepare you for your evening spent at the notorious prison. 
  • Swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround, detouring to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival. As you leave behind the bustling stands, you will begin to smell it before you see it - a peculiar scent of yeast and flour tinging your nose as we draw nearer - Boudin Bakery where sourdough bread rises to the occasion. Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
  • Departing the bakery it's time to get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along the pier, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head to Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge. After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing. It’s time...
  • As the sun begins to descend into the Pacific Ocean and the shadows become deeper, load the boat to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few - as tickets are extremely limited and sought-after. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cellhouse where you will collect your audio guide. The audio guide is an excellent way to hear the stories from former inmates, correctional officers, and the children that once called Alcatraz Island home! Wander the island, join small experiences throughout and then with the lights of San Francisco off in the distance, load the ferry back to the City by the Bay.

Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cellhouse where you will collect your audio guide. The audio guide is an excellent way to hear the stories from former inmates, correctional officers, and the children that once called Alcatraz Island home! Wander the island, join small experiences throughout and then with the lights of San Francisco off in the distance, load the ferry back to the City by the Bay.

Short Description
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum-security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take walks through the essential San Francisco neighborhood of Fisherman’s Wharf with a stop at Boudin Bakery, and then load the ferry, wrapping around Alcatraz Island and then explore the former prison as night falls over the bay.
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square. Wander through the old factory grounds, where, in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco - we say bringing the “other” gold to the City by the Bay. Depart the square for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.
  • As you weave your way through, Alcatraz Island will appear and fade as we walk along, enticing you for your visit. With small interjections of Alcatraz lore, your guide will prepare you for your evening spent at the notorious prison. 
  • Swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround, detouring to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival. As you leave behind the bustling stands, you will begin to smell it before you see it - a peculiar scent of yeast and flour tinging your nose as we draw nearer - Boudin Bakery where sourdough bread rises to the occasion. Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
  • Departing the bakery it's time to get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along the pier, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head to Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge. After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing. It’s time...

On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take walks through the essential San Francisco neighborhood of Fisherman’s Wharf with a stop at Boudin Bakery, and then load the ferry, wrapping around Alcatraz Island and then explore the former prison as night falls over the bay.
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square for a sample of delectable chocolate, an iconic treat of San Francisco. Wander through the old factory grounds, where, in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco - we say bringing the “other” gold to the City by the Bay. Depart the square for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.

  • Swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround, detouring to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival. As you leave behind the bustling stands, you will begin to smell it before you see it - a peculiar scent of yeast and flour tinging your nose as we draw nearer - Boudin Bakery where sourdough bread rises to the occasion. Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
  • Departing the bakery it's time to get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along the pier, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head to Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge. After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing. It’s time...
  • As the sun begins to descend into the Pacific Ocean and the shadows become deeper, load the boat to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few - as tickets are extremely limited and sought-after. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cellhouse where you will collect your audio guide. The audio guide is an excellent way to hear the stories from former inmates, correctional officers, and the children that once called Alcatraz Island home! Wander the island, join small experiences throughout and then with the lights of San Francisco off in the distance, load the ferry back to the City by the Bay.

Short Description
  • A night spent in the shadows of a notorious prison
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum-security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take walks through the essential San Francisco neighborhood of Fisherman’s Wharf with a stop at Boudin Bakery, and then load the ferry, wrapping around Alcatraz Island and then explore the former prison as night falls over the bay.
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square for a sample of delectable chocolate, an iconic treat of San Francisco. Wander through the old factory grounds, where in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco - we say bringing the “other” gold to the City by the Bay. Depart the square for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.
  • As you weave your way through, Alcatraz Island will appear and fade as we walk along, enticing you for your visit. With small interjections of Alcatraz lore, your guide will prepare you for your evening spent at the notorious prison. 
  • Swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround, detouring to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival.

Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
  • Departing the bakery it's time to get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along the pier, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head to Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge. After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing. It’s time...
  • As the sun begins to descend into the Pacific Ocean and the shadows become deeper, load the boat to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few - as tickets are extremely limited and sought-after. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cellhouse where you will collect your audio guide.

  • A night spent in the shadows of a notorious prison
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum-security prison. On this incredible one of a kind experience, take walks through the essential San Francisco neighborhood of Fisherman’s Wharf with a stop at Boudin Bakery, and then load the ferry, wrapping around Alcatraz Island and then explore the former prison as night falls over the bay.
  • Begin your experience near Ghirardelli Square for a sample of delectable chocolate, an iconic treat of San Francisco. Wander through the old factory grounds, where in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco - we say bringing the “other” gold to the City by the Bay. Depart the square for a “behind the scenes” view over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.
  • As you weave your way through, Alcatraz Island will appear and fade as we walk along, enticing you for your visit. With small interjections of Alcatraz lore, your guide will prepare you for your evening spent at the notorious prison. 
  • Swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround, detouring to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival. As you leave behind the bustling stands, you will begin to smell it before you see it - a peculiar scent of yeast, flour, tinging your nose as we draw nearer - Boudin Bakery where sourdough bread rises to the occasion. Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
  • Departing the bakery it's time to get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along the pier, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head to Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge. After a little time spent in their smelly company, head towards Alcatraz Landing. It’s time...
  • As the sun begins to descend into the Pacific Ocean and the shadows become deeper, load the boat to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few - as tickets are extremely limited and sought-after. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cellhouse where you will collect your audio guide. The audio guide is an excellent way to hear the stories from former inmates, correctional officers, and the children that once called Alcatraz Island home! Wander the island, join small experiences throughout and then with the lights of San Francisco off in the distance, load the ferry back to the City by the Bay.
  • Please note, due to policies governed by Alcatraz, you must provide the name and birthdate for each person attending this tour. Please email us at [email protected] with your departure date, full names, and birthdate of the guests that will be going to Alcatraz Island with you. Any travelers who do not supply these will have to be canceled
