Experience the ultimate Northern California adventure with our Alcatraz night tour and Yosemite combo. This 2 day San Francisco tour begins at Pier 39 with a visit to the Aquarium of the Bay, where you’ll explore the vibrant marine life of the California coast through immersive underwater tunnels. As evening falls, you’ll embark on an exclusive Alcatraz night tour, the city’s most atmospheric and sought-after experience. This comprehensive Alcatraz tour package provides a rare look at “The Rock” after dark, featuring the award-winning audio tour and special evening programs that aren’t available during the day.
On your second day, trade the city skyline for the wild beauty of the High Sierra on a premier Yosemite National Park day trip. Our professional guides will lead you through the glacially-carved Yosemite Valley, showcasing iconic landmarks like El Capitan, Half Dome, and towering waterfalls. You’ll have ample free time to explore pristine meadows, bike the valley trails, or simply soak in the grandeur of this world-famous wilderness. As one of our top multi day tours from San Francisco, this itinerary provides a perfectly balanced escape into the best of California’s history and nature.
Your 2-day package includes the Alcatraz Ferry on day 1, and your Incredible Adventures tour on day 2. There is no transportation provided on day 1; you must make your own way to Fisherman’s Wharf for the day. Please note that the hotel pickup time listed in your reservation is for the 2ND DAY for your Incredible Adventures day tour.
Please note: This is a sample itinerary. Due to rapidly changing conditions (weather, crowds, traffic) and our small-group size, we allow our guides the flexibility to tailor your itinerary to best suit the needs of the group. While we guarantee to provide the highlights and inclusions within this itinerary, we do not guarantee them in this specific order.
You’ve crossed the bay, now see what’s swimming below the surface! At this stage of your tour, you’ll visit the 20,000 animals living in the Aquarium, from eight-foot native seven-gill sharks to eels, rays, and jellies – all of which can be found in the San Francisco Bay.
Alcatraz is a must-visit attraction for any traveler visiting San Francisco. You’ll take the ferry out to “The Rock”, taking in amazing views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, and Angel Island along the way.
6:35 – 7:15am:
We’ll take off after we pick up the adventure crew for the day from the prearranged locations listed on the vouchers. Make sure to arrive 15 minutes early!
7:15 – 10:00am:
As you settle in for the journey, we’ll pass by some exceptional San Francisco sights. Catch views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the incomparable San Francisco Skyline as we head east on the Bay Bridge. You’ll taste a piece of California’s rich agricultural hub as we pass through a slice of the Central Valley famous for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries.
10:00 – 11:30am:
We’ll continue into the mountains as we connect with the rich history of California’s gold country, passing through some of the first settlements built during the Gold Rush. Take in the earthy forest smell as we make our way to the heart of the park. Your guide will pepper in stories and historical facts about the different sights. Be sure to listen for the logistics as we get ready for the day tour!
12:00pm:
The climb to Yosemite Valley offers breathtaking views as we wind our way up to 6,200 feet above sea level. Next, you’ll feel like Ansel Adams at ‘Tunnel View’, one of Yosemite’s most beautiful locations where we will make a stop for photos.
1:00pm:
The suspense is over! Once we reach the drop off location, you’ll have around 3 hours of free time to explore. Want to hike or bike around? Your guide will point out the best spots on your map. You’ll have options to meander or bike down paved paths, hike the trails, engage further with the park’s history at the visitor center or visit the Ansel Adams Gallery. Although you could spend three weeks in Yosemite, the three hours you get on your own is enough time to understand why Yosemite is one of America’s most popular national parks.
4:00pm:
Once you’ve had your time to explore, we’ll come together in the late afternoon and set our course back to San Francisco, stopping for a short break before arriving back in the city. You will arrive back at your hotel by around 8:30 – 9:00 p.m. to sleep off the days’ adventures.
