A Truly Lousy experience- the Immigration museum was closed, all the trams and tours were "out of order" and the cafe was closed for renovations. That left us at the ferry terminal for 2.5 hours, wa… Full review by Curt M

I did the combo tour of Alcatraz and Ellis Island and had a known the tram tour was going to take up all my time on the island, I would have done things differently. The only thing I wanted to visit … Full review by Dmbdaze

I did the combo Alcatraz and Angel Island tours. Angel island was a little disappointing as the tram tour was literally just a recorded audio talking at you. Not a person. I wish they would have on… Full review by Solotrav2023
I’m confused about how to get to the island from Oakland. From what I can tell, you go from Oakland to SF to the island...but what pier in SF? Ferry building or Pier 41? Is it a single ticket from Oakland, or do I need to purchase another ticket in SF?

Good question. As a first-time traveler, I was confused also. Angel Island is a California State Park, but the ferry is privately run. It does not take reservations and you must pay cash for your tickets once you arrive. The whole operation sounds a bit shady, but it is actually exceptionally-well run. We traveled to the island from Tiburon on the north side of the bay; however, from Oakland, I presume you will want to ferry from Pier 41 in San Francisco. Parking at Pier 41 is shared with the Pier 39 parking garage. I wanted to include links for you, however, TripAdvisor doesn't allow it.
If I were lucky enough to get a cabin reservation, how does one get one's camping stuff from ferry to cabin? Tram? Walking distance? Thanks in advance!

The Tram we rode was designated for the people that were part of the Alcatraz tour only. Granted that tour is seasonal for the summer months and maybe the Trams are used for other …
The Tram we rode was designated for the people that were part of the Alcatraz tour only. Granted that tour is seasonal for the summer months and maybe the Trams are used for other reasons outside of that time. But all the other people we saw were walking or riding bicycles. But if your cabin is not close to the marina, there has to be something offered due to the size of the island.
