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.

What To Expect

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

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.
