Presenting the exclusive Alcatraz Night Tour by Alcatraz City Cruises! Distinct from the Day Tour, it offers a more eerie atmosphere (possibly haunted?), fewer crowds, small docent-guided groups, usually featuring extra presentations and occasionally access to sections of the jail inaccessible during the day.
Additionally, enjoy a stand-alone high-end venture featuring scenic vistas of San Francisco Bay. You can embark on this journey either before or after your Alcatraz visit, with daily departures and no need for reservation.
Start by picking a date from the evening timetable. The package includes the Alcatraz jail tour, accompanied by an audio guide through a headset (languages available: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish).
Given the frequent sellout of the Alcatraz Night Tour at the Pier 33 Ticket Office, this package often serves as a great opportunity to secure an Alcatraz ticket and create unforgettable experiences along the San Francisco waterfront, under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and back.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
