Harbor tours at san francisco, California - One of the best ways to see San Francisco is from the waters of San Francisco Bay. There are many companies that offer tours of the harbor varying durations and prices but they all provide incredible views of the bay, bridge, Alcatraz Island and the city.
Only specific island tours are allowed to land at Alcatraz, but the typical harbor tour will circle the island at a slow crawl, giving you plenty of opportunities to photograph the prison now-active than water.
Also consider taking a ferry from San Francisco across the bay to Tiburon, Sausalito, or Alameda. Same views for a fraction of the price.
Most tours depart from the dock at Fisherman's Wharf near Pier 39. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks along the beach road. Purchase tickets one or two days in advance during the summer high.
Boats usually leave about an hour starting around 10 and ends around 5 PM. Multi-lingual guides available on some tours. Prices range from $ 20 - $ 40, more for sunset, dinner, or whale watching.
Even on a sunny day the bay can be chilly, so be sure to bring a sweater as well as sun screen.
Some boats have snack bars on board, but bring your own water and treats to avoid paying high costs or going without. Now there is a limited drinks and souvenir shop on Alcatraz.
