One-hour scenic voyage - Ferry between Pier 43.5 and Fisherman’s Wharf while transiting along San Francisco’s breathtaking waterfront, passing under the Golden Gate and around Alcatraz! Learn the history of San Francisco Bay in an open-air museum setting and observe local marine life such as sea lions, pelicans, whales, and more.

Set sail from historic Fisherman's Wharf and enjoy breathtaking views of the City by the Bay as you loop past North Beach, the red-roofed barracks and buildings of Fort Mason, and the pastel-colored homes of the waterfront Marina District. Keep your camera handy as you approach the forested hills of the Presidio and then cruise right beneath the 4,200-foot (1,280 m) span of the Golden Gate Bridge.

As you make your way across the bay, the city's colorful history is revealed through award-winning narration you can listen to on a personal, wireless headset. Be on the lookout for aquatic wildlife including seagulls, pelicans, and sea lions. You may even be lucky enough to spot a harbor porpoise or whale.

Admire the rugged beauty of the wildlife reserves of the Marin Headlands and the waterfront charm of picturesque Sausalito. Slowly circle Alcatraz Island, once the involuntary residence of the nation’s most infamous criminals, including Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and see the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in the distance as you make your way back to the pier to disembark.
