Wanderfish

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.

This smaller, pedestrian only (no cars) ferry will take you to rock island state park.

If you only want to day-trip visit the island, we highly recommend taking the first ferry of the morning out to allow you plenty of time to hike to the lighthouse, take the tour, hike back and make it back to Washington Island with plenty of time to spare.

Memorize the ferry schedule or at least know the time of the absolute last one out.

We enjoyed the lift - pleasant crew and lovely experience.
