This sunset cruise is fantastic. The sunset is beautiful and goes on forever. Seeing the bridge from below is very cool and then after the excitement and energy of photo ops. It gets calm and you can enjoy the serenity of the beauty of this place.

San Francisco: Fisherman's Wharf Walking Tour + Alcatraz

About: San Francisco Cruises

Explore San Francisco via its most unique trait: the water. With the best San Francisco boat tours, you’ll get within photo-worthy proximity of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and catch the city and its symbolic crossing at its best angles.

Through the Golden City's trademark mist, you’ll see lazy sea lions lounging on the pier, seagulls swooping from above, and you may even get lucky to see evidence of the larger marine life, like whales and dolphins.

With so many San Francisco Bay cruises to choose from, there’s no wrong way to see the Bay Area. Hitch a ride out to the infamous island of Alcatraz, a prison designed to be inescapable due to the rip currents and great white sharks rumored to patrol the rough waters.

Aquarium of the Bay

Aquarium of the Bay is located at San Francisco's popular PIER 39. Its focus, as the name suggests, is local aquatic animals from the San Francisco Bay (and nearby waterways). There are three main exhibit areas, each with a specific point of focus. The most thrilling is the underwater tunnel, though the touch pools and naturalist talks also help make this an exciting and interactive way to get to know the bay.
