San Francisco Bay Cruise 
The San Francisco Bay Cruise is a must-do in San Francisco. After boarding the boat at the pier in Fisherman's Wharf, you may get a glimpse of the famous sea lion colony and catch your first sight of the exciting attractions at Pier 39 from the water. Heading towards the Pacific Ocean, you have incredible views of the San Francisco skyline, including Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, the Marina District, Pacific Heights, and Crissy Fields.

The thrilling highlight of the tour is when you get to cruise underneath the Golden Gate Bridge while the bridge spans over you for 1.7 miles. You can almost touch the Pacific Ocean and you have great views of Baker Beach, Seacliff and Marin County. We head back towards Alcatraz, completing a full circle of the famous prison island, followed by the best views of the Bay Bridge, Downtown, and the San Francisco hills.

Enjoy this breathtaking tour along San Francisco's waterfront and experience the exciting history of the city and the bay while you cruise past San Francisco’s most famous landmarks.
