About this experience and booking advice
Alcatraz: Entry Ticket + Roundtrip Ferry is an attraction in San Francisco combining roundtrip ferry transport with full access to Alcatraz Island, the former federal penitentiary that operated from 1934 to 1963 and held inmates including Al Capone and Robert Stroud.

The ferry service, operated in partnership with the National Park Service, departs from Pier 33 on the Embarcadero. On the island, visitors explore the Cellhouse at their own pace using the included audio tour, which features narration from former guards and inmates. The route covers the main cell blocks, solitary confinement areas, and the dining hall, with National Park Service exhibits and ranger programmes available throughout the site. The grounds also include views across the bay toward the city and the Golden Gate Bridge. Tickets cover the roundtrip ferry crossing, island entry, and the audio tour. The site is wheelchair accessible, and cancellations are accepted before the selected timeslot.
