Overview

Step inside the legendary Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, California, with a round-trip ferry from Pier 33 and an audio tour told through the stories of former inmates. Afterward, head back to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch with a food credit at a local partner restaurant.

⛴️ Ride a round-trip ferry from Pier 33 across the bay to Alcatraz Island

🎧 Walk the cellhouse with an award-winning audio tour narrated with stories from former inmates

🏝️ Explore the island grounds at your own pace, taking in sweeping views of the city skyline and the bay

🦀 Refuel back on the mainland with a lunch credit at an assigned Fisherman's Wharf partner restaurant

Few places carry a reputation quite like Alcatraz, and this package gets guests right inside the walls of the most famous federal prison in America. The day starts at Pier 33 in San Francisco, where a round-trip ferry makes the quick 15-minute crossing to Alcatraz Island. Once ashore, guests pick up an audio headset for the award-winning 90-minute cellhouse tour, which brings the cell blocks to life with firsthand stories from former inmates. The audio tour is available in 11 languages, and plenty of time remains afterward to wander the island grounds and soak in the views across the bay.

Back on the mainland, guests receive a food voucher for a lunch credit at an assigned Fisherman's Wharf partner restaurant, perfect for a post-prison bite by the water. Ferry departure times are assigned in advance and sent by email two days before the visit, so there is no need to worry about securing a time slot at the pier. Alcatraz tickets are famously hard to get, especially in summer, which makes this package a great way to lock in a visit to one of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks.
