Hey thank you for sharing about the Sunrise Ceremony at Alcatraz. Do you know how long it usually goes on for?
It's over by the time the regular visitors and staff arrive, about 8:45 or so. But people at the ceremony can stay over to visit the rest of the island if they want. You have to wait at the dock for the first visitor boat to hear the orientation.
