Overview

Make the most of limited time and see the best the North Bay has to offer on this perfect combination tour of Muir Woods, the artsy town of Sausalito, the Aquarium, and a night tour of Alcatraz Prison!

In the morning, you'll head to Muir Woods and have over an hour to walk among the towering giant redwood trees. A quick drive through the headlands will take you into Sausalito for a chance to explore or grab some lunch. When you're ready to return, just take the ferry across the bay to Fisherman's Wharf, where you'll have time to check out the Aquarium of the Bay and learn about the life under the water.

In the evening, the ferry to Alcatraz will afford you amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco city skyline from the north. When you land on the island, you’ll get a short history of Alcatraz, and then head up into the prison. The night tour allows you access to areas not available on the day tour.
