Overview

Soar over the legendary Alcatraz and Angel Island during our introductory helicopter tour! Great for travelers with robust agendas, or families and friends taking flight for the first time. Revel in stories of the famous Bay Islands as you take flight off the helipad in Mill Valley. Your pilot will navigate orbital views for guests while island-hopping over historic Alcatraz and Angel Island. Learn about the Escape from Alcatraz and see the buildings on this rocky outcropping from above. A flight pass offshore San Francisco before a smooth landing at Commodore Heliport in Marin completes the most unique way to see these iconic landmarks.

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
