Tour the Bay in Style |
Red & White Fleet: Pier 43 1/2 in Fisherman's Wharf Ferry Building Line: One Ferry Building, Gate E San Francisco, CA 94133 +1 415 673 2900 http://www.redandwhite.com/ |
Not for nothing is San Francisco known as "The City by the Bay". Bordered on one side by the Golden Gate Bridge and the other by the Oakland Bay Bridge, the city is fully water-locked. So if you want to see the San Francisco from the Bay itself, then book a convenient tour on Red and White Fleet. An attraction since 1892, this line offers a wide array of boat tours that are sure to please everyone, from novice tourists to seasoned San Francisco natives. After the fog lifts and the sun comes out, hundreds of vessels can be seen cruising the waters, including a bevy of tour boats. It can be overwhelming to try and pick out the tour that suits your needs, as many have very specific itineraries that make it difficult for large groups and families to compromise. So before getting too caught up in the throngs of visitors, stop off at Gate E of the historic Ferry Building and check out The Ferry Building Line, a popular subsidiary of the Red and White Fleet. During the 90 minute ride, the boat stops by the famous waterfront AT&T ballpark, then sails under the Bay Bride around Treasure Island (see if you can spot sea lions basking on the rocks!) and returns past the crowds at Alcatraz. This journey offers a unique perspective of the city and is also a great way to get your fill of fresh air away from the busy streets. Plus, while enjoying the view, you can learn about the area with the tour's complimentary audio guides. These guides provide information about the architecture, Native American community, or natural history of the region, and are a great way to complement the visually stunning trip. Also, there are plenty of drinks and snacks available on the boats' lower level to whet your appetite before you head out to dine along the Embarcadero. If you are more of a landlubber, Red and White Fleet also has a series of bus tours that traverse the city, nearby Muir Woods, or Napa Valley, among others, so be sure to visit the website and find your perfect trip. These land tours, as well as other Red and White Fleet boat excursions like the 1-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise and 2-hour California Sunset Cruise, leave from Pier 43 1/2 in Fisherman's Wharf. So sit back and enjoy the trip, and be sure to bring along a camera to catch all the sights. Review © 2009, Wcities |
