It was amazing! It was my first time in San Francisco and I was so happy that the clouds cleared up just in time as we were cruising! Really amazing views and the commentary was on point. just enough to catch my attention but also quite peaceful.
could be less expensive but do the evening cruise The views are sooo much better You get to see the bridge and Alcatraz We even got to see a whale so it was great attractions on route: alcatraz value for money:could be cheaper safety: very safe
A must experience in San Francisco I enjoyed a lot! Just present your mobile voucher to any personnel of Red and White SFO Bay Cruises at the pier 43 1/2. Be there 15 mins before the scheduled time. It is 1-1.5 hour of self guided tour :) you may choose your prefered audio guide. The tour will commence from pier - Golden Gate Bridge - passby Alcatraz and back to pier 41 1/2. It was very educational tour highlighting the beautiful SFO. For future travelers, I highly recommend to include this tour in your itinerary but this will depend on your budget. Nonetheless, I enjoy the Golden Gate Bay Cruise in SFO and I hope, soon you too!
I bought the ticket the same day of the cruise and much cheaper here in Klook because of their limited sale. The ticketing staff was nice as she allowed me to board on an earlier schedule. Amazing experience overall. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting San Francisco.
It was a great experience for first timer to SF. I went there with my husband and auntie. Though my Austin’s stayed in CA for over 40 years, this is the first time she’s on a SF Bay cruise to visit Golden Gate Bridge. Most ppl sat on the upper deck but it’s very cold and windy even in Jul. Strongly suggest to put on a hoodie. The upper deck is very noisy because of the wind. If you want to listen to the guide, it’s better to stay on the lower deck.
breathtaking views , awesome experience with the cruise to go beneath the Golden Gate Bridge . the cruise speed was great as well and we enjoyed to the core
A pleasantly organized boat trip. The Golden Bridge, as often happens, was in the fog and it was a mystical feeling. It was interesting to look at the city and Altkatras from the water
I was having a spontaneous trip when I booked the cruise. For its price, it’s definitely worth it to give it a try. The audio guide is very helpful on knowing the history of the city too, and the cruise itself would take you to a breathtaking view around the bay. Go outside the deck to see an obstructed view, heads up! It’s very very cold and windy.
You can have a great experience in a short time! If I may give you a tip, I would go to the line before the boat departs to get a good seat, but since people will get up and block the view in front of you once the boat departs anyway, you can just board the boat at the departure time with plenty of time to spare.
amazing cruise ride through the San Francisco harbour, and being able to see the Golden Gate Bridge upfront
