See Alcatraz Island and learn the history of “The Rock” with a 3-hour ferry and audio tour of the island and prison. Then check out San Francisco’s Aquarium of the Bay and get up close and personal with our underwater neighbors! On day 2, you'll head to Muir Woods and Sausalito and you’ll wander through ancient groves of coastal redwoods at the Muir Woods National Monument and take a leisurely walk along the historic flower-lined sidewalks of Sausalito. If you’ve never seen an old-growth redwood forest, prepare for a full sensory experience.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this tour? Can younger kids go?

A: There’s no strict age limit for kids, but it's more suitable for those ages 6 and up. Younger kids can definitely join, just keep in mind they might not appreciate the history of Alcatraz as much. Also, be prepared to carry them in Muir Woods if they get tired since it involves some walking! Overall, it’s a great way to introduce them to nature and history!

Q: Is the Muir Woods part of the tour hard to walk? I'm not super fit.

A: The trails in Muir Woods are pretty accessible and there are several flat paths, so you don’t need to be super fit. Just take your time, enjoy the trees, and you can always sit down if you need a break. I'd say it’s totally doable for most people. Just wear comfortable shoes!

Q: How's the parking situation for this tour? Is it hard to get to?

A: Parking can be tricky in San Francisco, especially near the ferry terminal. I recommend using public transportation or rideshares if possible. The tour includes transportation to Muir Woods and Sausalito, so you won’t have to worry about that part. Just arrive early to ensure you find a parking spot if you’re driving!

Has anyone done the Alcatraz and Muir Woods tour? Thinking of gifting it!

I’m considering this as a gift for my parents' anniversary! They love nature and history, so it seems perfect. I’ve read some reviews, and everyone says the Alcatraz audio tour is really engaging. I’m just worried about the logistics since they’re not super mobile. How did you find the Muir Woods part? Any tips?

Fantastic experience at Alcatraz and Muir Woods!

Just did this tour last weekend and wow! Alcatraz is so fascinating, the audio tour is super well done. Muir Woods is breathtaking—those trees! It felt magical walking among them. Highly recommend this for anyone who loves nature or history. Just a heads up, dress in layers because it can get chilly on the ferry!
