Alcatraz tickets 2026: about 47 to 51 dollars, not on any city pass, book early

Alcatraz is a National Park Service site. Tickets are sold only through Alcatraz City Cruises. Adult day tours run about 47 to 51 dollars in 2026. CityPASS, Go City, and C3 do not include it.

Alcatraz is the one San Francisco ticket people still underestimate. It is not a hop-on ferry. It is a timed National Park Service visit sold exclusively through Alcatraz City Cruises from Pier 33. Adult day-tour tickets in 2026 run approximately 47 to 51 dollars, including the round-trip ferry and the audio tour. Night tours cost more and sell out first.

What is not included

No San Francisco city pass covers Alcatraz. Not CityPASS, not Go City, not C3. If a third-party site is selling you a combo that looks like Alcatraz plus a pass, read the fine print. Book the official product when your dates are firm, often weeks ahead in summer and October.

The island is why you came: the cellhouse, the bay, the city skyline on the way back. Pair it with a day that does not also try to do Muir Woods and wine country. San Francisco.
