Ferry Excursions

Hop on a ferry and explore magnificent Penobscot Bay!

Buy a Maine State Ferry Excursion ticket and enjoy a round trip sightseeing voyage to any one of the five islands in the beautiful Penobscot Bay region. Foot passengers can enjoy the spectacular views, a brief stop on the island and then the return voyage to the mainland on the next scheduled trip.

If you prefer to remain on the island for a longer period of time, our standard ferry fares apply.

Choose spring, summer, or fall. Ferry Excursion tickets are valid for travel seven days a week from May 25th to October 15th. Excursion tickets are not sold for the very last trip of the day to the island.
