Before your visit
Check the authorized Alcatraz ferry and tour options.
NPS identifies Alcatraz City Cruises as the authorized ferry operator. A national-park annual pass does not replace the ferry ticket.
How to use this guide
Check visit products and operational notices on the official Alcatraz Island page. A verified release rule is not available in this guide, so it does not calculate an opening date.
