Angel Island - Tiburon Ferry

Seth Litchney

Quick boat ride with friendly staff and plenty of great views of the bay. Angel island is kind of cool.

Overall, the ferry ride from Tiburon to Angel Island was great. The crew was friendly and fantastic - I'd give them all a 5. The ride was smooth, and docking was gentle. On the downside, I missed the first ferry ride at 10am because I could not find the entrance! It isn't marked at all. I had never been to Tiburon before. There is no sign I could find that says "21 Main Street" at the entrance. There is construction going on there, so maybe that is why. The "locals" were no help. I finally just started riding down the alleyways until I found the dock myself. There is a huge sign at the dock that says "Angel Island / Golden Gate Ferry". But you can't see it from Main street. Also, plan on getting there at least 30 minutes early to find parking. There are several lots that vary widely in price, depending how close you park to the dock. I found a lot next to CVS pharmacy a few blocks away where you can park your car the whole day for $5. Had to buy my pass (which covers the round-trip ferry ride, and includes the State Park access fee) for $17. Included in that $17 is an additional $1 fee for something (taxes?) and another $1 if you have a bike. The good thing about the bike, is they let you board first (before all the other passengers) to park your bike. Takeaways: 1) get there early 2) They need better markings on Main street on how to get to the dock and 3) I would suggest NOT taking the last ferry (3:20pm), as that is when EVERYONE has to get off the island, or spend the night there. I wish they had a 2:20pm ferry, but they only have a 1:20pm ferry.

Loved my trip here! We took the 11:00am ferry and hung out for an hour after we went to the top of the island. We took the 3:20 ferry. Also, 11:00am ferry does not leave exactly at 11:00am. The people running the ferry seem nice. Will need to go again and explore the area next to the ferry in Tiburon, super cute! And it’s beautiful too!
