Step beyond the history books and witness the gripping reality of modern justice. While thousands view Alcatraz from afar, The San Quentin Passage takes you further north into the San Pablo Bay for an exclusive, live-narrated encounter with California’s oldest and most notorious active prison.

As you cruise alongside the imposing Victorian-style cell blocks and high-security guard towers of San Quentin State Prison, your live expert guide will pull back the curtain on life "behind the walls." You'll hear haunting and true accounts of the prison’s 19th-century origins, the high-stakes environment of its famous Death Row, and the stories of the infamous inmates who have called this fortress home.
