Planning Ahead
Where Do I Purchase Tickets? To visit both islands in one day, the National Park Service recommends an early ferry departure.
What Are My Ticket Options? The time listed on the ferry ticket is the time you need to join the queue for the security screening facility. It is not a reservation time for a ferry departure. Wait time can be an hour or more during peak times, including summer, weekends, and holidays.
