Total Yosemite Experience + Alcatraz

Our 2-day combination ticket of Yosemite National Park and Alcatraz is a great way to get the most out of your time in San Francisco!

Yosemite National Park

You will enjoy one day at Yosemite National Park, where you will spend at least 5 hours, taking in the breath-taking scenery!

By only allowing a small number of guests on each tour, it gives you the best chance of learning about the park and enjoying its breath-taking landscapes. In the Yosemite Valley we generally see El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls and Inspiration Point (aka Tunnel View.)

Unlike most tours, you will also be taken to a higher altitude and a lesser travelled part of Yosemite National Park. Here you will hike in the Evergreen Forest, giving you a unique opportunity to see a grove of Giant Sequoia trees, the world's largest living things.

Visit to Alcatraz

You will also enjoy a trip to Alcatraz Island a.k.a. ''The Rock'' which is San Francisco's most famous attraction. Alcatraz tickets sell out fast so it is recommended to make your reservations early!

Your Alcatraz Island tickets include a short ferry service from the centrally located Pier 33 Embarcadero Street in the heart of San Francisco. Also included are the award winning audio walking tour of Alcatraz Island and the cell-block tour, which features recorded interviews with inmates and guards who actually lived on Alcatraz Island. (It takes between 2 and 2 ½ hours to complete the full tour after which you can take a Ferry back at your leisure.)

Tour Highlights:

  • Tour to Yosemite National Park with hotel transfers from the downtown and Fisherman's Wharf areas.
  • Yosemite Entrance Fees included. (If you need a Yosemite Audio guide, please request this at the time of booking!)
  • 5-6 hours inside Yosemite National Park with the chance to see Inspiration Point, El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil and Yosemite Falls
  • 1-hour Giant Sequoia Tree walk (weather permitting)
  • Fully guided commentary in English
  • Ferry and Alcatraz Admission Ticket 
  • Small group experience

Please note this is not an overnight tour. After your first day you will return to your hotel. It is then your duty to arrive at Alcatraz landing Pier 33 for your ferry ride to Alcatraz or meet your hotel transfer to Yosemite depending on your confirmed itinerary.

Some parts of the Yosemite tour might require some level of physical health. The Tree Hike includes 1 mile paved trail with 400ft incline. Much of Alcatraz is steep and hilly, so be prepared for walking long distances uphill. The distance from the dock to the prison at the top of the island is about 1/4 mile (.4 km) and the elevation change is 130 feet (40 meters). This is equivalent to climbing a thirteen story building.Visitors unable to make the climb up Alcatraz's steep road can take advantage of SEAT—Sustainable Easy Access Transport—an electric shuttle that runs twice an hour from the dock to the prison building, and twice an hour from the front of the prison back to the dock. Boarding is available on a first come, first served basis.
