Travel and transport agencies Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area

The Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area is home to 32 islands, but only 2 of them are accessible from the mainland: George and Spectacle Islands, connected to Boston by a seasonal ferry service. In Boston, the ferry picks up passengers at Long Wharf on the harbor. It takes 30 minutes to cross to Spectacle Island and 45 minutes to George Island. The others are served in the summer and some weekends from these two islands. Ferry schedules vary depending on the day, season and island of destination.
