Amazing experience, definitely worth it for people visiting San Francisco for the first time and getting brilliant views of the Golden Gate Bridge and other attractions from a different angle from the ocean. The queues were very well managed, with proper safety, onboarding and off boarding of the cruise. The guided tour was amazing as well and very well explained. All the staff was very helpful too. Also a very nice touch with a group photo before the cruise starts and we can purchase the same as a souvenir after we come back. Overall a 10/10 experience!

The ease of adding a ticket at the last minute. We showed up 15 minutes early and the line moved quickly. The information given on th boat was good general information and when we arrived to the island, the mandatory information given by the ranger was informative and clear. I appreciated knowing where to go for the audio tour and the fact that there was a tram for those who could not get up the 13 story hike to the top. The audio tour was good. Maybe spread out the people more. I almost missed the chance to check out the exercise yard. I enjoyed the stories told by the inmates and guards. Have a great look into the life of a prisoner. Boat ride back was fine and the return schedule was perfect timings.

We really enjoyed this 60-minute Blue & Gold Fleet cruise. The views of the San Francisco skyline were beautiful, and cruising under the Golden Gate Bridge was definitely the highlight of the trip. Seeing Alcatraz from the water was also a unique experience. The ride was smooth, the crew was friendly, and it was a great way to see some of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks in a short amount of time. Highly recommend for visitors and locals alike!

I took the cruise on a beautiful, sunny day, and it felt great being out on the water. My favorite part of the trip was the description of the Golden Gate Bridge and how many people were not in favor of building it, the technical difficulties of construction, the challenges for the construction workers, and the magnificent result that everyone loves. Very inspiring.

Save time and money with a combo ticket that brings together two of San Francisco’s most iconic bay experiences under one convenient booking.

Visit Alcatraz Island with round-trip ferry transfers from Pier 33 and explore the former prison using the award-winning “Doing Time” audio guide narrated by past inmates and guards.

Continue your San Francisco Bay experience aboard the Golden Gate Bay Cruise, sailing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge with panoramic waterfront views throughout the journey.

Cruise past landmarks including Angel Island, Sausalito, the San Francisco skyline, and the Bay Bridge while enjoying sweeping views from the water.

Circle around Alcatraz Island during the cruise to see the historic prison from a striking offshore perspective after exploring it on foot earlier in the day.

This was an amazing cruise that highlighted some of my favorite spots in San Francisco. Anyone can drive over the Golden Gate, but it's something special to be able to be under it and to hear the natural noises it makes with all the cars crossing over whether you go when it's foggy clear day or night this is an amazing cruise.
