Travel Tips

  • Arrive early in peak season (Nov–Apr) as the pier can get crowded with large tour groups. 
  • Keep valuables handy: luggage is often stacked together on ferries, so bring essentials in a small day bag. 
  • Weather buffer: During May–Oct, seas may be rough and departures delayed; plan onward travel with flexibility. 
  • Waterproof your luggage: Boarding sometimes involves walking on open gangways or floating pontoons.
