San Francisco: Alcatraz, Ferry & Audio Tour w/ Night Option

Visit Alcatraz with included ferry and admission, and enhance your journey with an immersive audio guide that stays with you from the moment you board the ferry to the moment you return. Available only with this exclusive ticket. Step beyond the standard visit to Alcatraz with this exclusive package that includes official Alcatraz admission, round-trip ferry tickets, and a cinematic audio tour that accompanies you every step of the way — from the moment you depart Pier 33 to the moment you return from the island. This isn’t just a prison tour. Our audio companion guide reveals stories most visitors never hear: Indigenous history, hidden gardens, island families, art installations, and powerful moments of protest and renewal. Ride the ferry across the bay with immersive narration and soundscapes Explore the island's dramatic cliffs, gardens, and ruins with guided storytelling Reflect on the deeper meanings of justice, resistance, and transformation during your return journey This audio experience is designed to complement the official Alcatraz Cellhouse audio tour (which is also included), giving you a complete and unforgettable view of the island’s past and present. Note that this tour does not include a live tour guide. At checkout, you can select the Alcatraz Night Tour option, which includes evening ferry service, guided introductions by park rangers, and access to areas not open during the day.

Die Tour ist maßlos überteuert. Wir haben die Nachtoption gebucht, weil wir gerne auch die Bereiche sehen wollten, die tagsüber geschlossen sind. Die meisten dieser Bereiche waren allerdings dennoch geschlossen, z.B. wegen Umbauarbeiten. Der Preis ist im Vergleich mit anderen Anbietern frech. Wir haben leider vorher den Preis nicht verglichen und so fast das Doppelte bezahlt.

über die Website des Anbieters sollte ein Audioguide herunterzuladen sein was nicht funktioniert hat.Es gab auf Alcatraz selbst aber einen kostenlosen.Wäre gut wenn das beim Anbieter zu erfahren gewesen wäre,dann spart man viel Zeit beim Versuch des herunterladens.

We chose an early evening trip to Alcatraz as felt it would be more atmospheric. And that, it certainly was. Well organised and provided with a simple audio around the facilities. Well organised tour and on leaving we were met with thick fog all around us, so really added a bit more drama! A must do whilst in San Francisco.
