"Went to Northport and decided not to do the ferry since it was a little late in the day for it. Meaning, plan ahead if you’d like to do this because this line runs every 90 minutes. You will also have to take a ferry over to Rock Island State Park so be prepared if going there. We did check out the visitor center and watched the ferry unload/load. So please read other reviews for the actual ferry experience. For this review you can check out this bench by the visitors center and this random couple walking on the stony beach"
"Beautiful experience . Cannot express in words . You can take your car with you to Washington island. They charge $24 for car. I think it’s worth to take car with you , because the island is big . There are lots of things to see in the island .Ferry service was very good. They manage everything very professionally . On weekends there are ferries which comes in every 45 minutes."
"We really enjoyed our trip back and forth on the ferry. Good views of Plum Island and lots of ferries going back and forth all the time. The trip takes half an hour each way. Clean and plenty of space."
"Giving a five-star rating for the unique and fun experience, despite dealing with the grumpiest old man when purchasing tickets. He literally flung a map at my husband. It was so obnoxious we had to laugh and can only imagine this is NOT his normal job. Everything else was awesome. I'm sure it helps that a huge percentage of passengers are on vacation and vacationing people are happy people. It was fun to be on the upper deck while being transported."
"Catching a ferry to nearby islands isnt a normal thing for me but definitely a very cool experience. The crew were very professional and loaded at least 12 vehicles. Everyone stays in their vehicles and the trip just takes a few minutes. It really helps create the experience. Ill be back!"
