Alcatraz Island at Night with Fisherman's Wharf Walking Tour

Overview
At the end of the day in the bustling city of San Francisco, the daily crowds begin to dissipate. The sun sinks into the Pacific Ocean and shadows fall over the city streets, as waves push rhythmically against the piers. This is your chance. Your chance to experience the faltered prison of Alcatraz after nightfall - when all the other tourists have gone home, and you have the island all to yourself with only a limited amount of other chosen few. This experience is paired with an in-depth exploration of nearby Fisherman’s Wharf and a visit to the famed Boudin Bakery, where San Francisco’s sourdough bread always rises to the occasion.

What To Expect
1
Ghirardelli Square
Visit Ghirardelli Square to sample delectable chocolate, an iconic treat of San Francisco. Wander through the old factory grounds, where in 1849 Domenico Ghirardelli brought his confectionery to the shores of San Francisco.
2
San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park
Go to a “behind the scenes” vantage point over Aquatic Park where brave swimmers jet through the cold bay waters preparing for the annual Escape from Alcatraz race. Glance at the island of Alcatraz from this vantage point and mentally prepare for your evening secluded on the notorious island.
3
Fisherman's Wharf
At the waterfront begin your walk towards the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf, passing the iconic Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround. Detour to a famed restaurant perched at the end of a wharf, and access a locals-only door to enter the crab stands lining the heart of the Wharf where the iconic mast sign welcomes your arrival.
4
Boudin at the Wharf
Step inside the Boudin Bakery where sourdough bread rises to the occasion. Visit the small museum where, over samples of sourdough bread, your guide will share the history of the longest-running establishment in San Francisco.
5
Pier 39
Get up close and personal with San Francisco’s unofficial mascot - the lazy sunbathers of San Francisco Bay, the permanent squatters along Pier 39, the San Francisco Sea Lions! Head down Pier 39 and take the lesser-beaten path (our own little secret) to view the famed sea lions as they lounge.
6
Alcatraz Island
As the sun begins to descend into the Pacific Ocean board your ferry to the “Inescapable Island”. After circling the island, you will enjoy the wildly popular attraction with very few - as tickets are extremely limited and sought-after.
