We have been working closely with our public health partners to align our operations with local guidance and provide access to the island for the first time this year, GGNRA General Superintendent Laura Joss said in a statement. We expect everyone to follow CDC guidance, wear a mask, and give each other space to safely enjoy their experience at this iconic site.
Ferries to the island will operate at reduced capacities for the time being and require advanced reservations via alcatrazcruises.com.
Access to the island s outdoor areas like Eagle Plaza and Sally Port as well as China Alley and lower Building 64 will be open to all visitors while indoor sections like the Cell House will be limited to visitors who sign up for tours.
