It’s very warm on the boat and the scenery is great. The front desk staff are very professional and will help you with any questions. The feeling of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is very special. Definitely recommended, but be careful to keep warm.

For those undecided, I want to share that it’s one of the beat decisions we made for our SFO trip. The tour operator is efficient and very very helpful- shout out to Cody and Arnel of Jefferson station, by Fisherman’s Wharf, you guys are amazing!

if you’re a fan of disney and/or animation, you’ve got to visit Walt Disney Family Museum. there’s so much information about Walt’s earlier life and how he became a cartoonist to an animator and to who he is today. it’s amazing how much he has brought to life as a storyteller! spent 3hours in there!
