[San Francisco, USA] Bay cruise with views of bridges and islands🛳️

I want to see the Golden Gate Bridge, a symbol of San Francisco, from below! Several cruise companies operate cruises around San Francisco Bay to make that wish come true. This time, I took the Blue & Gold Fleet's "ESCAPE FROM THE ROCK" course, which also tours Alcatraz Island, and took about an hour and a half🖐️ I made a reservation on the day for the evening departure, which is only available on Fridays and Saturdays. If you book the cruise by itself, it will cost around 7,000 yen, so if you plan to visit several other places, it is more economical to purchase and book a GO CITYPASS. After departing, we first headed under the Golden Gate Bridge while looking at the city of San Francisco🌉 Needless to say, the power of the bridge seen from below is amazing! The large cargo ships passing by are quite impressive 😲 After passing under the bridge, we make a U-turn and head back towards the city, heading towards Alcatraz Island. Although it is easily visible from the city of San Francisco, this island, which is said to be impossible to escape from, once had a prison, and is so famous that there have been several movies based on it 🚨 On the ship, the history and the voices of those who actually served prison time are played, so it may be very interesting for those who can speak English. As for me, I just took pictures on the deck 😅 Finally, we went to the Ferry Building and returned to the departure point while looking at the Bay Bridge in the distance. It was the time when the sun was setting, so we also enjoyed a sunset cruise👍 The bay cruise is just the right length to efficiently experience San Francisco, and is an activity that is especially recommended for first-time visitors✨ By the way, the hull was old, but I was on the deck the whole time, so it didn't bother me personally.
