Overview
Alcatraz Island with Ferry
Board a 30-minute ferry ride across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island. Known to the world as “The Rock,” the prison was famous for housing inmates like Al “Scarface” Capone and the “Birdman” Robert Stroud.
Listen to a 45-minute audio tour and hear stories from inmates themselves and step inside a prison cell to see what life was like during that infamous era. Return to San Francisco at your own pace; ferry boats return every 30-40 minutes.
Guided Muir Woods Tour
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge to a canyon filled with coastal redwood trees, also known as Muir Woods National Monument. Experience awe and wonder as you stroll through redwood alleys with 1,000-year-old trees towering 260 feet.
Enjoy the cool, moist air of California's signature fog and absorb the crisp, redwood fragrance that surrounds you. Take a scenic drive through the seaside town of Sausalito, famous for its views, local boutiques, and cafes.
