How to Get to Angel Island

Ferries run year round on the weekends and weekdays. Ferries can be chartered for groups during the school year. California state accredited K-12 schools can request a fee waiver from the Angel Island Association when booking their tours. This waives the park entrance fee on the weekdays, reducing the cost of the ferry to just the ride itself. Please call the local ferry companies for updated schedules.

Between the end of October and the beginning of April, there is no direct ferry service to and from Oakland/Alameda or Vallejo. To get more information on ferries and other transportation go to www.transitinfo.org.
