The ferry runs regularly throughout the day and is a great way to reach Wolfe's island. Just 20 minutes from Kingston on the ferry, this island with its windmills, scenic vistas, charming houses, shops and restaurants is a great way to relax. During winter the ferry uses a dock that is farther away from the village and as of Oct 13, the shuttle bus to the village is going to be suspended (perhaps due to covid restrictions). This may make getting around more difficult unless you take a car across on the ferry, which you absolutely can! While in the village, check out the charming churches, the eclectic street names and the wonderful paintings that adorn the walls of many public buildings
