It was really nice and you had a lot of opportunities to take beautiful pictures of both the golden gate bridge and Alcatraz. I highly recommend to be there as early as they tell you to be so that you are one of the first to pick a good seat. Do not forget your jacket as it is very windy. All in all great experience.

The staff on the dock went above and beyond to help us when we had issues getting there and missed our boat, we were so impressed! The main downside was that we couldn’t hear the speakers on the boat and had to stand directly under a speaker to hear it (even then barely and the audio guide wasn’t working on phone). Quite expensive but you do get a good view of Alcatraz from the water.

This was a fun trip! I do wish someone would of warned us about how windy and cold it is if you sit on the outside deck. A winter coat and hat, at least, would of created a more comfortable experience. It did seem like the cruise was generous with the time. The only thing I would change is that when circling around Alkatraz that circling around at oppsite directions so that BOTH sides of the boat can get the good, unobstructed view. If you want an unobstructed view sit on the right hand side of the boat. Otherwise we enjoyed this cruise very much. Thank you!
