The Alcatraz experience was fun. We wish there were other time options for the bay cruise. The Bay cruise started at 1:00, which we barely caught. Reason why; we were trying to depart from Alcatraz at 11:55 just to make sure we had enough time to get back for Pier 33 bay cruise. However the 11:55 departure was canceled due to an emergency (out of our control). So we had to take the next departure ferry, that barely left us with any time to get to Pier 33. We had to run to Pier 33. We barely made it.

Fantastic afternoon, crew were amazing and we even saw the USA and GB America's cup teams practicing. There are coats for us as it was colder out there than you think, right up to golden gate bridge. The fact that it's a small boat is so much better too. Alcatraz was so good, learnt stuff I never knew and it was a beautiful day. This trip comes highly recommended

Great way to spend the day

My husband and I had a wonderful time doing the Alcatraz tour and the catamaran through the bay. It was a great way to see the city from a distance.
