Alcatraz before an evening flight/dinner, how much buffer?

Trying to decide whether a 9:20 Day Tour is sensible before a fixed 5:30 commitment back in the city. The island visit is “2–3 hours”, but the return boat is flexible. What would you protect as buffer rather than planning to the minute?

Do not build it around the minimum 2 hours. You still have ferry time, return-boat boarding and the walk/ride from Pier 33 afterward. An early Day Tour is the right direction, but leave a real city-side buffer for a fixed evening commitment.

Shortlist, compare, decide, then stop thinking about it
