What Viator lists in San Francisco
Viator's San Francisco page showed San Francisco Alcatraz App Guided Tour with Cruise and Jail House from $75 per person as read on October 13, 2026. On its own page the same day, Alcatraz Inside Access Ferry and Audio Tour with Night Option was from $90.99 per person; it is self-guided with an audio companion guide and includes official Alcatraz admission and the ferry.
That second listing reads "Non-refundable" and says it cannot be changed for any reason, and its night option is not available on Sundays and Mondays. This page has no listing or price for a bay cruise, wine country or the redwoods.

Search tours on Viator →Alcatraz: the official ferry and fares
The National Park Service fees page, updated January 21, 2026, and read on October 13, 2026, names Alcatraz City Cruises as the only NPS-authorized ferry to the island. It lists the day tour at $47.95 for an adult 18 and over, $45.15 for 62 and over and $29.15 for ages 5 to 11, and the night tour at $59.65 for an adult.
Its hours page, last updated April 27, 2021, says Alcatraz is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day and frequently sells out in advance, so check dates on the ferry operator's own site.
Build one San Francisco day around the booking
The ferry time fixes the day: put other plans before or after it, not between. A night visit needs a later ferry, and the Viator night option is not offered on Sundays and Mondays.
Viator's night-option listing says it is booked 14 days in advance on average, a statistic about past bookings, not a rule.
Before you pay
The Alcatraz night-option listing is non-refundable, unlike the 24-hour full refund on most Viator listings, so read the cancellation line of the exact listing you pick; each listing shows its own policy. The app-guided tour's policy was not read for this page.
Viator vs booking direct sets the Viator listings against the official ferry ticket, and Viator cancellation policy explains non-refundable listings.
