Description

This tour combines an official visit to Alcatraz Island departing from Pier 33 with a full-day electric bike rental for exploring San Francisco's waterfront at your own pace.

Your visit to Alcatraz includes a 2.5-hour self-guided experience featuring the acclaimed Cellhouse Audio Tour, which shares stories about notorious inmates such as Al Capone and “Birdman” Robert Stroud. The ticket covers round-trip ferry transportation, entry to the Cellhouse, an orientation video, and a multilingual audio headset for an immersive visit.

After returning from Alcatraz, walk to the bike shop at 2661 Taylor Street to pick up your e-bike. Bikes include a front handlebar bag, rear gear rack, and a complimentary map. You’ll receive a briefing and professional fitting before starting your self-guided ride along San Francisco’s waterfront.

Cycle past Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, the Marina, the Presidio, Crissy Field, and Fort Point. Many riders continue across the Golden Gate Bridge to Vista Point or Sausalito, where ferries can return you to San Francisco (ferry ticket not included). You have full-day use of the e-bike to explore freely.

After your ride, you may return by bike or take a ferry from Sausalito. During peak season, a Sausalito bike drop-off option is available for an additional fee.
