Description of San Francisco Bay Cruise Tour
The Golden Gate Bay Cruise is San Francisco's most popular bay cruise.

The one hour San Francisco Bay Cruise takes you on a ferry boat out towards the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz Island, and several other locations, from Fisherman's Wharf.
