Take the ferry to Angel Island from the cute little hamlet of Tiburon. Ferries leave on the hour, and return at the 20 minute after mark, starting around 10am and ending around 5pm. The fee is $1350, plus $1 for a bicycle. Bicycles may also be rented on the island. Personal segways and dogs are not allowed. The ride is... More

Hiking, biking or just hanging around the pier - this island has so much to offer. Starting with a lovely boat ride from Tiburon, this is one of my favorite day trips in Marin. History, nature, views all yours here for the day. Also offer a tram for a ride around the island, although we bike or walk it. More

Nice clean beaches, no cars, good biking roads. If you want to spend a day far from the city rush, this is the place fo you. The ferry ride from San Fransisco is much nicer that from Tiburon and costs only a little bit more. More

Went on a Sunday from the Tiburon ferry (fee). Parking was easy to find about a block away and $5 for all day. Did the 1-hr tram tour (fee). Great tour guide. There was one stop where we actually were able to get off, but several stops for discussion and pictures. Recommend the tour to first time visitors or anyone... More

This is a great way to see the island. The views of San Francisco, Sausalito, Tiburon and the East Bay from this vantage point are... More

I like to visit places with some history, and I am interested in hearing the stories of day gone by. The ferry ride is wonderful too. More

Travel back in time when the Island was home to the Miwok, Ranchers, US Army, Chinese Imigration, Japanese & German POW's and a Missile Base. Capture and... More

When I exchanged my voucher for tickets at the booth, the counter lady did not tell me the Cove Cafe was closed and the Tram was not operating. As we were standing in line, a gentleman told us we should pick up lunch since the Cove Cafe is closed. Luckily, we had enough time to head to Boudin as he... More

Angel Island was once a site of the Miwok Indians, a cattle ranch, an Army post, later a Quarantine Station, and a Nike Missle site. It also had a quarry that used inmates from the nearby Alcatraz Federal Prison to mine the rocks. Today it is a State Park which can be reached by Ferry. More
