Overview

This is it! The one and only Alcatraz Night Tour from Alcatraz City Cruises. As compared to the Day Tour, it may feel a little bit creepier (haunted?) while having less crowds, added ranger or docent-led tours, and extra narration on the outbound ferry. Plus, you will take a separate high quality excursion with spectacular views along San Francisco Bay. This can be done before or after Alcatraz, with daily departures; no reservations required. First, select a date from the evening schedule. You get the Alcatraz prison tour, complete with headset audio (available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish). Considering how often the Alcatraz Night Tour sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a great way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and make memories going all along the San Francisco waterfront and out under the Golden Gate Bridge and back.

Itinerary

  • Alcatraz Island

    Discover America’s most infamous prison... at night! It's less crowded and more docents leading smaller groups. It's also creepier then, with added features, but always a chance to go inside a cell and feel the cold and dark life firsthand. The award-winning 45-minute cell house audio headset tour covers escape attempts, riots, bizarre characters, and much more. Displays include prison life, guard controls, and how 3 inmates made their infamous “Escape From Alcatraz.” Alcatraz is one of the most popular tours in the country: • Video History Presentation – No Charge • Audio Tour has sound effects, interviews with prisoners & guards, and historic details • The Cellhouse Audio Tour is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. • Bookstore with information in many languages • Permanent exhibit The Big Lockup: Mass Incarceration in the United States • Other rotating exhibits • Prison recreation yard open to public

    3 hours

  • Golden Gate Bridge

    The Golden Gate Bridge is quite impressive when seen from below! This easy 1-hour tour on a stable 300-passenger ferry boat makes for smooth sailing. Daily departures from 11:00 am let you control the clock. These boats all have a snack bar with Beer and Wine, restrooms, and indoor and outdoor decks. You'll take in fabulous skyline views of Fort Mason, Marina Green, Pacific Heights, Presidio and Historic Ft. Point, Angel Island, Alcatraz, and points around the SF Bay. The included audio tour is playable via on-board wifi to connect with your phone. Or simply enjoy the scenic ride and broadcast tour, moving around the boat at your leisure. The audio tour is available in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, German and Taiwanese. Valid within 365 days from your date of purchase. Even on a sunny day the wind can be strong and the Pacific Ocean moisture can feel cool, so seasonally appropriate layered clothing is recommended.

Alcatraz Lessons

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing history on the American penal system and other social issues. Beautiful views of San Francisco and surrounding area.

Well worth the money

Published on Nov, 2024

To actually see for yourself was amazing the audio was amazing and portrayed the story perfectly .and to see the props was brilliant

‘Man’s inhumanity to man’

Published on Oct, 2024

Exciting, in depth & easy to follow audio tour. We didn’t stay the full 3 hours & very much appreciated the option to go back on the earlier ferry as it had been a long day! We will finish with ‘mans inhumanity to man’

Night Tour at Alcatraz

Published on Oct, 2024

The Rock. With the fog and night time atmosphere the island itself felt more "haunted" and eerie than exploring the cells themselves. There is a large incline zig-zag that needs to be traversed, but they did a mobility cart for those that need assistance. Additionally you are able to take any ferry back - as long as you don't miss the last one! (Giving you time to explore). Audio devices with headphones are provided with easy play and pause features to allow for you to pause as needed as you stroll through the prison. (This two part package allows you to see the Golden Gate Bridge as well as Alcatraz from the bay during the day.)

John was great

Published on Oct, 2024

The person I worked with (John) was great. He let me know that the night visit to Alcatraz had been canceled due to unknown reasons. He always kept in touch telling me what was going on and how to get to the Golden Gate boat tour. Thanks John
