Highlights
Brace yourself for a spine-tingling journey through the shadowy past of Alcatraz Island on the immersive Escape from the Rock Cruise. As your boat circles the infamous former prison, you'll plug into a guided audio tour using your own phone or WiFi-enabled device—available in multiple languages—for a chilling deep dive into the legends, inmates, and escape attempts that made Alcatraz one of America's most feared penitentiaries.
From its early days as a military prison (1907–1933) to its later role housing notorious criminals like Al Capone, Billy Cook, and Clyde Johnson, the Rock has been a symbol of both isolation and infamy. Learn about the harsh conditions inside the tiny 5 x 9-foot cells, daring (but doomed) escape plots, and unsettling tales of ghosts and hauntings whispered by inmates and guards alike.
Though you won’t step foot on the island, this cruise offers unforgettable views of Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay, combining history and suspense in one unforgettable experience. Just bundle up, because the stories—and the breeze—are guaranteed to give you goosebumps. A must-do for true crime enthusiasts and curious travelers alike!
