Self-Drive Day Trips

The ferry is a great way to take a day trip either to just cross the bay and come back again without leaving the boat, or to take some time ashore and do the some of the great ideas shown below.  Please call ahead to confirm availability and dates of operation. Times and dates listed are best information received at the time of publication and are subject to change by the individual properties.

During the summer season, shuttles can help get you to some of the locations, but all are available by car. (Shuttles do not operate at other times of the year.)

Want a suggested itinerary? Call 1-800-643-3779 to discuss and book your trip with our Guest Services team. Or check out our Day Trip short video and our idea galleries below!
