About this tour

Pair towering redwoods, a colorful waterfront town, and a night on Alcatraz in one San Francisco outing. This combination tour begins with a morning trip to Muir Woods, where you’ll have over an hour to walk among the giant trees. Then travel through the headlands to Sausalito, with time to explore or find lunch.

From Sausalito, take the ferry across the bay to Fisherman’s Wharf and visit Aquarium of the Bay. In the evening, board the ferry to Alcatraz, enjoying views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, the island itself, and the San Francisco skyline. After a short introduction to Alcatraz’s history, head inside the prison for the night tour, which opens areas not available on the day tour.

The San Francisco Muir Woods and Alcatraz Night Tour brings distinct North Bay and waterfront experiences together, with admission to Muir Woods, the aquarium, and Alcatraz’s night tour included. Reserve your place and experience the city’s natural and historic sides in one day.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.60 from 38 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
