Experience the famous prison of Alcatraz after nightfall - when all the other tourists have gone home - and explore the nearby Fisherman’s Wharf and Boudin Bakery, known for its notorious sourdough bread!
Begin this incredible one-of-a-kind experience near Ghirardelli Square for a sample of delectable chocolate, an iconic treat of San Francisco. Then, swing down to the nearby waterfront to begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf. As you leave behind the bustling stands, you will begin to smell it before you see it: Boudin Bakery. Enter the bakery and head to the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
As the sun begins to set, load the boat to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few. Enjoy a short introductory tour with a National Park Ranger as you walk towards the cell house where you will collect your audio guide. Wander the island before heading back back to the City by the Bay.
