Before you book anything
If you’re unsure about your dates, the month picker lays out any month (climate, ferries, events and what is open) before you commit. Once the days are sketched out, the trip cost calculator prices the ferry, lodging, food and activities with verified 2026 data. You can also see what’s on during your dates and skim the beach rankings. If you’re bringing a car, it pays to book the ferry as early as you can, because summer car slots go fast.
