The ferry ride takes about 10-15 minutes. You get great views of the island and the city. Alcatraz Island was a great experience and I highly recommend for anyone in the area. I was hoping more of the buildings with be available to tour but that may be an option on the more expensive ticket. Overall, it was very cool seeing this part of history. Plenty of information to take in during the audio tour of the cell house. Plenty of great views and pics too.
