We suggest considering either Peter Pan or P&B for bus services to Woods Hole. Both options include several stops along the route, concluding their service at the Ferry Terminal. Bus schedules and tickets can be purchased ahead of time online. Keep in mind that when returning to the airport, allowing ample time is crucial due to potential traffic delays.

At Boston Logan International Airport buses depart each airline terminal on the lower level outside the baggage claim areas, at the sign that reads “Scheduled Buses”, in the orange zone. Buses begin their trip through the airport at Terminal A, then stop at each terminal as they progress through the airport, so depending on your terminal, the bus may be a few minutes later than the time posted on the schedule.

Terminal A | (Delta, WestJet) | exit door A105 | the stop is just to your right

Terminal B | (Air Canada/American Airlines, or B1) | exit door B101 | the stop is right in front of the door
