Transforming Your Group's Experience into an Unforgettable Journey
Groups with special needs, defined as a collective of individuals with mobility impairments or other specific access requirements, are warmly welcomed to Alcatraz Island. To facilitate your visit, advance permission is necessary.
It’s important to note that the island’s accessible S.E.A.T. Tram has limited seating, reserved exclusively for individuals with a physical necessity. These seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For comprehensive information about the accessibility features and facilities available on Alcatraz Island, we encourage you to visit the Accessibility page.
Please be aware that wheelchairs are not available for loan either on the Island or at Alcatraz Landing.
Due to the high demand for visits, we recommend submitting your request well in advance to ensure ample time for processing.
To initiate the process for your Special Needs Group visit, kindly fill out the application request form and allocate a 30-day period for the review. Following the receipt of your initial request, a complete application form will be provided for you to fill out.
Full payment for your group’s visit is required 30 days before the scheduled departure date. Failure to meet the payment deadline may result in the cancellation of your reservation.
We greatly appreciate your interest in Alcatraz City Cruises and eagerly await the opportunity to host your special needs group in the near future!
