Red and White Fleet San Francisco Bay Cruises

"The historic Red and White Fleet cruise ship, operating in the Bay Area since 1892 offers the only cruise that goes under both the iconic Golden Gate bridge and the gigantic Bay Bridge. It is also the only one that offers guided narration in 16 different languages via personal headsets you wear while cruising. This was awesome as we didn’t have to strain to hear a guide and instead got all the insights into the city’s history, architecture and little-known facts right in our ears as we sailed along the waterfront for 90 minutes. TIP: Make sure to line up at least 30 minutes in advance of departure if you want to be up top for prime viewing. And don’t forget to bring a sweater or jacket. It can get chilly and windy on the bay! In fact its always a good idea to dress in layers in San Francisco. A cool 60 degrees from the chilly fog feels much colder than 60 degrees in the sun. Dress warmer than you think you need to be."

"This has to be my favourite activity we did the entire weekend! The Red and Fleet will take you on a beautiful bay cruise to the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island! The cost is $38USD and lasts around 1 hour. I’d highly suggest doing a sunset cruise. You’ll get the most stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge! Tip: You can purchase a bundled ticket for $108 and it includes the cruise, the hop on/hop off bus, and the sky wheel!"
