Big Bus San Francisco Muir Woods and Alcatraz Island Combo

Overview

Alcatraz Island with Ferry

Board a 30-minute ferry ride across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island. Known to the world as “The Rock,” the prison was famous for housing inmates like Al “Scarface” Capone and the “Birdman” Robert Stroud.

Listen to a 45-minute audio tour and hear stories from inmates themselves and step inside a prison cell to see what life was like during that infamous era. Return to San Francisco at your own pace; ferry boats return every 30-40 minutes.

Guided Muir Woods Tour

Cross the Golden Gate Bridge to a canyon filled with coastal redwood trees, also known as Muir Woods National Monument. Experience awe and wonder as you stroll through redwood alleys with 1,000-year-old trees towering 260 feet.

Enjoy the cool, moist air of California's signature fog and absorb the crisp, redwood fragrance that surrounds you. Take a scenic drive through the seaside town of Sausalito, famous for its views, local boutiques, and cafes.

Did Alcatraz in the morning at 10am and Muir Woods at 2pm. Alcatraz is most interesting and the audio tour of the cell house very informative. You can do this as slow or quick as you like but it is quite crowded, Bit of a queue to get the audio headset. Muir Wood trip was good with about 1.5 hour to explore the trail etc.

My boyfriend and I had a great time in Alcatraz and the woods. There was enough time in between both to eat lunch and catch the bus. James our bus driver was funny and knowledgeable of the area. We had a great time!!
