San Francisco Golden Gate Bay Cruise

Experience San Francisco’s iconic waterfront with the original San Francisco Bay sightseeing cruise company, family owned and operated since 1892. Departing from Pier 43½ at Fisherman’s Wharf, this one-hour cruise takes you beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island. Learn about the history and landmarks of San Francisco Bay with complimentary audio narration available in 16 languages on personal audio guides—no app or download required. Enjoy panoramic views from the open-air decks or relax in comfortable indoor seating. Along the way, keep watch for local wildlife, including sea lions, pelicans, harbor porpoises and, on occasion, whales. Plans changed or worried about San Francisco’s unpredictable weather? Your flexible, open-dated ticket may be used on any available departure through the end of the calendar year.
