The Alcatraz experience was awesome. We did the audio tour and would highly recommend it. The audio tour, available in many languages is about an hour and a half and is narrated by a former Alcatraz officer, Patrick Mahoney. You ll hear from former Alcatraz inmates as well.
You ll depart from Pier 33, Alcatraz Landing and you should leave at least 2.5 hours to not only experience the tour but the boat ride and walking around Alcatraz Island. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking which includes cross country ski vermont stowe inn steep hills.
There is SEAT (Sustainable Easy Access Transport), a tram service for those with accessibility needs. Be sure to check the schedule at the dock and when you get over to Alcatraz cross country ski vermont stowe inn for exact departure times. This is only available for anyone with a health condition or physical disability which limits mobility. Family and friends who are physically able can meet you at a designated drop off spot.
Be sure to reserve your tickets online well in advance of your San Francisco vacation. You can get your tickets at Alcatraz Cruises . It s an authorized Concessioner of the National Park Service, Department of Interior.
The least crowded is the early bird tour, the first trip of the day that departs at 8:45 AM. Then you have the day tour, both a morning and evening option. Then you have the night tour which sells out incredibly fast. They say it s the best tour, sunset and all. Then you have a tour option to do both Alcatraz Angel Island. Just do your research to see what would fit best.
