Very nice boat trip on San Francisco Bay to see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, The Bay Bridge and views of the city and Fiserman's Wharf.
Not as good as a time that I thought out would have been, I was a little disappointed. The weather was nice. The cool part was seeing the windsurfers.
Very nice in every way except the guide audio could have been a little clearer
Great way to learn some history, look at some beautiful views, and get some relaxing time. It is cold and windy, so be sure to take a jacket and hair tie.
Even with the cold, it was beautiful and a lot of fun. They have an inside and we were warm there. Very educational and would definitely do again.
Great way to spend a few hours on the water. As a bonus, we saw a couple whales!!! Highly recommend. Give yourself a lot of time to find parking.
This boat tour was great. 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time and you get to see most of the bay.
Excellent scenery, weather, locations, atmosphere and timing. Highly recommended viewing, trip and will pass along the word.
Seriously this was the best money I spent in San Francisco. I learned so much about the geography and the history - and was fascinated by the Native American history. Nice clean bathroom on ship, snacks and beverages for a reasonable price, friendly staff, loud and clear spoken English recording amplified throughout ship (and earphones for those needing another language), etc. GREAT experience!
Took the 60 minute trip last week and decided that I wanted to take the 90 trip as well. The bridge to bridge tour gave me a more in depth history of the workings of the bay. The scenes were beautiful. The crew was experienced and knowledgeable. The cost of the trip was well within my budget.
The bridge to bridge tour was absolutely awesome!! Super highly recommend! It was very windy so it was choppy but the boat navigated it well and it only added to the experience because there were many kite surfers and salboats to watch. This tour took us on one side of Alcatraz Island, under the GG Bridge, around the other side of Alcatraz Island, then under the Bay Bridge and back to the dock. We also saw the sea lions on the wharf and went and got a closer look after we docked. There were also many pelicans flying and sitting on the breakwall. Definitely worth the money and would do it again in a heartbeat.
A very nice, very chill experience. Well narrated and informative, as well as beautiful to see. Bridge to bridge tour ,and around Alcatraz island is well worth the visit. Although we didn’t partake, there is a snack bar inside the main deck, and indoor and outdoor viewing available. Highly recommend.
The staff was very friendly. The bartender made a great bloody Mary to set the mid morning cruise off to great start. The boat was very clean and the trip was great. My wife and kids loved it. The boat leaves right on time so give yourself plenty of time to park and get to the pier.
Great tour kids had fun great employee working the snack and beverage bar! On time and definitely something I’d do again!
It was a nice cruise! A little chilly so bring a sweater=). They gave nice bits of history and great introduction to the bay!
Booking was easy. Finding the location was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Ant the tour was very enjoyable and learned a lot about the area. Would tell people to take this adventure!
The self-guided audio tour is the standout feature, narrated by former inmates and guards, which visitors describe as "immersive," "chilling," and "powerful." This audio guide allows for a flexible pace and is widely credited with bringing the prison's history to life. The ferry ride from Pier 33 offers scenic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and city skyline, enhancing the overall experience.
Beautiful cruise experience ! We will definitely recommend it to relatives & friends. Thank you so much !
Had such an amazing time with my son cruising around The Bay yesterday getting to see The Golden Gate and Bay Bridges along with Alcatraz. No matter how many times I see it or how far I travel The Bay will always be home. I love that I get to share this special place with my son and make new memories from the places that birthed me.
It was very informative and great views. My only complaint is was hard to hear talk over the engines and others talking but might have been because we were inside
The cruise was a great way to see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the city from a different perspective. Loved the audio that described what we were seeing. I definitely recommend this tour!
Out on the open water can be cold, so take a jacket. Also, the tour is advertised for 1 hour but lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, so don’t crowd another activity afterwards. There was plenty of good seating available.
Beautiful views, great audio telling about everything. The wind around here can get crazy so if you're cold-natured be sure to bring a light jacket or you will be staying inside.
Great good morning good morning great day funny how things went yesterday good choice of day for and my family because of the weather and the beautiful day and beautiful blessings of the Lord and sunshine and love and peace and love and happiness.
It was great, the weather was perfect, the ship was in excellent shape. The staff are friendly. We had a great view of the bridge!
Fun, interesting and well worth the money.
We had a good time. Very informative. It wasn’t 90 minutes more like 70. This isn’t on the company just for information but it was very cold when leaving and coming back into port so dress accordingly!
Be on time as they start on time, you can visit the arcade Musuem close by free if you get there to early. There are three levels main where drinks and refreshments are sold and you can sit and view. Second level has chairs to sit and view and of course outside on deck in the wind if you are adventurous lol. Very informative cruise and you get your monies worth. Go under and to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz we go near and the other bridge we go to is Oakland Bridge i think. There are 2 bridges we see on this excursion.
It is a large and comfortable boat, wheelchair, stroller, and kid friendly. Clean and great restrooms. Takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge and extremely close to to Alcatraz island. A must do!
Good Tour. Takes you around and below both the bridges and around Alcatraz island. Boat was good & clean. The crew was helpful & cheerful inducing good Vibes in the sunny and windy beautiful atmosphere.
Friendly crew, the ride allowed us to see and get a great close up view The bridge and Alcatraz. I would Highly recommend.
Worth the price, informative, fun, and it was convenient to have little packages of snacks available for purchase.
Very organized with a smooth trip, great views and excellent commentary, though it is recorded. Staff was super friendly. Nice experience. We did the 90 minute bridge to bridge version.
We had a 11:45 am cruise with children. The cruise itself was fine but the only food to purchase was snacks.
This is an auto narrated trip. You can get some spectacular views of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges you'd only see off from the bay. The timing of this 1.5 tour was a perfect way to spend some time before heading off to a nice lunch or dinner. It's a great way to break up your day if you're interested in a view of the city by boat. It really put the layout of the city into perspective.
The staff was amazing. Very attentive to the needs of the people in my group. They allowed us to be first on the boat because of my in law. They were friendly from beginning to end. The girl behind the concession stand was also amazing. All in all worth it. During the boat ride you're given history of everything your passing and they even have translator devices for those who speak a language other than English.
wonderful excursion to see the bridges and other sites! great audio! would do again! very nice that you can pick which level to sit on.
Bring jackets or head covering if you get cold easy. The wind can get cold. Lovely tour on a sunny day with gorgeous views of the city and two bridges
It was great. The views are the best. Loading and unloading very easy. Everyone was so nice. The cabin was extremely clean... Chantil the Bartender was fantastic!
Incredible scenery, relaxing, and fun. Great way to see San Francisco from the water. Highly recommend.
It was a great ride. Such beautiful scenery. Very comfortable & not overly crowded. The kids really enjoyed it.
Great trip - Alcatraz was a self guided tour. City tour with Jerry and as awesome!! Grew up in the city and very knowledgeable.
Make sure to eat before. The boat was not busy at all. This is the perfect time of the year. The drinks were great.
Great views, enjoyed the trip under both bridges. Exactly what was described and met our wishes. Would recommend
It was an amazing way to see the city and the entire Bay Area! We went at the end of May and the sky cleared up just in time for our 11:45 ride. We had 3 elder guest who only spoke Spanish and they had a great time listening to all the history through headphones. The sitting options everywhere were also key. One elder had a cane and got to go to the front to board. She was given extra time before the rest rushed behind her. All in all highly recommend this for mixed age groups.
Super fun experience in the bay! The views of San Francisco are incredible. Would do it again.
Awesome ! Crew was so friendly . They executed everything perfectly . I would plan my next trip but with family this time ..
It was a very good experience. Great team. Good coordination. Good experience on the food . Good chooce
