August 14 - San Francisco Bay Tour / Pier 39

Day 10 started off with the regular 9 am meeting at Nagasawa Park, and then it was off to the San Francisco waterfront. First off, an early lunch at In-N-Out Burgers near Ghirardelli Square…..burgers and fries for everyone!

Then it was time for a San Francisco Bay Cruise on the world famous Red and White Fleet at Pier 43 ½. Sailing under both the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in one spectacular cruise along San Francisco’s, enjoying the entire urban skyline.

Along the way, exploring San Francisco's stunning landmarks like Alcatraz, Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, Transamerica Pyramid, Palace of Fine Arts, and many more, and learning about San Francisco's unique natural history, architecture, and Native American culture through the audio tour. Sailing under both of San Francisco’s incredible bridges surely this was a highlight of their journey.

After an hour and a half on the bay, our group of travelers were ready for a shopping spree at Pier 39. From amazing views and a sea of sea lions to chowder bread bowls and California wines, their visit was exploring two levels of dining, entertainment, shopping and attractions, all surrounded by unbeatable views of the city and the bay.

Before ending their visit to the San Francisco waterfront, our group of travelers gathered at Scoma’s Famous Seafood Reastraunt at Pier 47.
