Where you'll go

Starting point

Pier 41, 94133, San Francisco

Landmarks you'll see

  • PIER 39
  • Enjoy an exciting 90-minute cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island
  • Listen to stories about escape attempts, life in the maximum security prison, and infamous inmates including Al Capone
  • Get an audio tour in your chosen language on your own WiFi-enabled device and take in the amazing San Francisco views

Wear something warm, because you might get goosebumps listening to tales of this prison's dark and creepy history. From escape attempts to infamous inmates, to legends of ghosts and hauntings, Alcatraz has it all! Bring your own phone and get ready to plug into a chilling slice of American history on the Escape from the Rock cruise.

Cruise around The Rock, home to Alcatraz, which operated as an official U.S. military prison from 1907 right up until 1933. You'll stay on your comfy boat the whole time, but you'll get a guided tour in the language of your choice just by tuning in through your own WiFi enabled device.

Sit back, relax, and be glad you're free and innocent as you hear about dirty dealings in the prison's tiny cells - some were only 5 x 9 feet!

Learn about Alcatraz's most famous inmates, including Al Capone, Billy Cook, and Clyde Johnson. Find out who tried to escape, who failed and why, and hear some of the terrible things witnessed by guards and officers, who also lived on the island with their families.

Chilling, eye-opening and exciting - a must-do in San Francisco.
