San Francisco experiences and things to do

San Francisco’s hills, waterfront and distinct neighbourhoods make a varied city break. Plan your sightseeing in clusters, with time to enjoy the streets between a booked attraction and your next stop.

Explore tickets and activities

Plan your San Francisco experience

Bay cruises, guided visits and outings beyond the city offer different perspectives. Check whether a boat trip includes a landing, and distinguish a city activity from an excursion that spends much of the day travelling.

Pack for changing conditions by the bay and check the departure pier. If you are combining an attraction with a meal or another tour, allow for hills and local transport rather than judging distance alone.

San Francisco Bay Sunset Cruise

San Francisco Bay Sunset Cruise

Sail San Francisco Bay at dusk from Pier 43 1/2, passing under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island, with music and a bar on board.

Pier 43 1/2, Fisherman's Wharf

Listed duration: 90 minutes

About this experience and booking advice

Book a San Francisco Bay sunset cruise and see the city from the shimmering waters of the bay as the light fades. Departing from Pier 43 1/2 at Fisherman's Wharf, the cruise is timed for dusk and glides beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, circles Alcatraz Island and takes in sweeping views of the skyline. With relaxed music, indoor and outdoor decks and a bar on board, it is an easy way to end a day of sightseeing. What you see on the San Francisco sunset cruise The 90-minute route covers the bay's big sights. Sail under the Golden Gate Bridge, loop around the former prison island of Alcatraz, and look across to Angel Island, Sausalito and Tiburon on the north side of the bay. On the way back, watch for the California sea lions that lounge around Pier 39. The open decks are the best place for photos of the bridge and the skyline, while the indoor seating keeps you warm when the wind picks up. Summer sunset or winter twilight? The experience changes with the seasons. On a summer cruise, you can toast the golden hour as the sky bursts into vivid orange. During the winter months, from December to March, the cruise departs after sunset and becomes a twilight cruise, when the city lights come on and the skyline glows over the water. Both are memorable, so pick the date that fits your trip. On board: seating, food and drinks Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating is available, and seating is open, so seats are not pre-assigned; arrive in good time if you want a spot by the rail. Light bites and drinks are available to buy from the bar, with background music setting a laid-back mood.

Who the sunset cruise suits The cruise is a relaxed choice for couples looking for a romantic evening, friends celebrating a special occasion and families who want to see the bay's landmarks without a long tour. It also works well on your first night in the city, giving you a sense of how San Francisco fits together, from the bridge and the islands to the hills of the skyline. If you have already visited Alcatraz by day, seeing it again at dusk from the water offers a very different perspective. Before you go Your voucher arrives by email. Show it on your phone with a valid photo ID at Pier 43 1/2, San Francisco, CA 94133, and check the voucher for any specific instructions. Bay weather varies a lot, even in summer, so dress in layers and bring a warm jacket. Pets, bulky luggage and smoking are not allowed. The boat is wheelchair accessible.

Choose a destination and browse the listed experiences. Open a product to review its details, select your date and ticket option, and check the final price before completing your booking.

Can I cancel or change my tickets?

Cancellation and amendment terms vary by product and ticket option. Read the specific policy before paying. Do not assume that a ticket is refundable or can be moved to another date.

How should I plan my day in San Francisco?

Pack for changing conditions by the bay and check the departure pier. If you are combining an attraction with a meal or another tour, allow for hills and local transport rather than judging distance alone.
