アルカトラズ島は一日中いつ訪れても神秘的だが、本当のスリルを味わいたいなら、島のナイトツアーをチェックしよう。島に日が沈み、人混みが消え始めると、アルカトラズは少し興味をそそるようになる。

冒険は、乗客がその日最後のフェリーに乗り込むピア33アルカトラズ・ランディングから始まる。ナイトツアー参加者は、デイツアー参加者と同じように、セルハウスオーディオツアーなどの出会いを楽しむことができるが、アルカトラズ島周辺のプライベートガイドツアーで、脱獄未遂に使われた隠されたスポットや、徒歩では到達できない刑務所の構造物を指摘するところから陰謀が始まる。ガイドの案内で丘を登り、南北戦争前からの歴史の層や軍の大砲、島での家族生活の「日記」などにスポットを当てながら、セルハウスまで歩く。

その後、受賞歴のあるオーディオ・プレゼンテーション「Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour」を聞きながら、各自でセルハウスを見学することができる。さらに、ナイトツアーでは、アルカトラズ病院の収容施設、暗い独房、実際の囚人から聞いた刑務所内での生活や、島で生活し働いていた矯正職員が語る脱獄の激しさなど、デイツアーで大勢の人がいるときには通常制限されているエリアも体験することができる。ナイトツアー体験前にアルカトラズ島の具体的なエリアは明らかにされないが、すべての訪問者はユニークなものに遭遇するだろう。ナイトツアーは非常に人気があるため、チケットは90日以内に予約することをお勧めする。

FAQs – Alcatraz Cruises’ Illustrious Night Tour

What is the Alcatraz Night Tour?

The Alcatraz Night Tour is a truly unique way to experience Alcatraz Island after dark. You’ll enjoy exclusive nighttime access, special programs, fewer crowds, and unforgettable views of the San Francisco skyline as the sun sets. It’s immersive, atmospheric, and unlike any daytime visit.

How is the Night Tour different from the Day Tour?

Great question! The Night Tour includes everything offered during the day, plus:

• Evening ferry rides with stunning bay views
• Special ranger-led programs and talks
• Access to areas sometimes unavailable during the day
• A quieter, more mysterious nighttime atmosphere

It’s our most popular tour for a reason!

What time does the Night Tour start?

Night Tour departures typically begin in the late afternoon or early evening, depending on the season. Exact departure times are listed when you book your tickets, so be sure to check your confirmation details.

Where do I board the ferry?

The only authorized provider for transportation and tickets is through Alcatraz City Cruises. All Alcatraz City Cruises ferries depart from Pier 33 Alcatraz Landing along San Francisco’s Embarcadero. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to allow time for check-in and boarding.

What’s included with my Night Tour ticket?

Your ticket includes:

• Round-trip ferry transportation
• Access to Alcatraz Island at night
• The award-winning Cellhouse Audio Tour
• Special evening programs and exhibits

Once you’re on the island, you’re free to explore at your own pace.

Is the Cellhouse Audio Tour included?

Yes! Our famous Cellhouse Audio Tour—narrated by former inmates and correctional officers—is included and available in multiple languages. It’s self-guided, so you can listen when and where you like.

What should I wear for the Night Tour?

Layers are key! Evenings on San Francisco Bay can be cool and breezy, so we recommend a warm jacket and comfortable walking shoes. Alcatraz has hills, so good footwear makes a big difference.

Absolutely! Nighttime offers incredible photo opportunities—from glowing city lights to dramatic views of the island. Just keep in mind that some indoor areas may have low lighting.

Is the Night Tour good for families?

Yes, many families enjoy the Night Tour! That said, the darker setting and historic themes can feel a bit spooky for younger children. Parents know best—but older kids and teens usually love it.

 Is the Alcatraz Night Tour accessible?

Yes. The ferry is wheelchair accessible, and accessibility options are available on the island, including the S.E.A.T. (Sustainable Easy Access Transport) tram. Let us know ahead of time if you need assistance—we’re happy to help.

Do Night Tour tickets sell out?

They do—and quickly! The Alcatraz Night Tour is extremely popular, so we strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date.
