Your experience

Getting started

Begin your journey at Pier 33, where you’ll exchange your mobile voucher for a paper ticket at the desk. Board the ferry to Alcatraz Island and prepare for a self-paced experience powered by an all-in-one app featuring audio guides, immersive video tours, AI chat, and real-time insights that begin right from your ferry ride.

What to expect

Alcatraz Island, once home to the notorious federal prison, stands as a symbol of American history in San Francisco Bay. Known for its dramatic escape stories and striking location just offshore, the island comes to life through rich storytelling both on-site and through the app’s interactive features.

Features

• Ferry ride across San Francisco Bay: Enjoy a direct ferry transfer from Pier 33, with panoramic views of the skyline and landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, enhanced by app-based audio and video content during your journey.

• Self-guided app tour: Use the all-in-one app for audio narration, video tours, and AI-powered chat to navigate the island and uncover stories of Alcatraz’s history, infamous inmates, and daily prison life.

• Historic cellhouse: Walk through the preserved cellhouse, see original prison cells, and hear gripping accounts of legendary escape attempts, complemented by the award-winning Cellhouse Audio Tour.

• Flexible visit duration: Stay on Alcatraz Island as long as you wish during operating hours, exploring entirely at your own pace with both on-ground exhibits and app-led guidance.

Set sail from San Francisco’s Pier 33 and enjoy a breezy ferry ride across the Bay, with sweeping views of the city skyline and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
Your experience will be enhanced from the very start by an all-in-one app featuring audio guides, immersive video tours, AI chat, and self-paced exploration that begins right on the ferry.
Alcatraz Island, once home to America's most notorious criminals such as Al Capone and "Machine Gun" Kelly, is open to touring, either during the day or at night.
On the day tour, explore the prison cell blocks, outdoor spaces such as the Recreation Yard & Eagle Plaza, the historic Gardens, and permanent exhibits.
On the night tour, listen to live narration on the ferry ride to the island, meet a ranger at the dock for a guided tour of the island, explore the prison cell blocks, and enjoy exclusive access to closed off areas like the hospital and kitchen.
On both tours, explore the prison areas on your own with the award-winning Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour, available in 11 languages with narratives by former inmates and prison guards.
