Vashon Island is only accessible by ferry. Please look ahead to the ferry sailing times to plan departure accordingly. We suggest that you take an early ferry time to enjoy the beautiful island prior! Check our things to do page for some ideas.

We also recommend that, if feasible, you meet with others and carpool over the ferry to save money and enjoy extra time on the island with others.

Should you be staying on the island, the ferry schedule will change for Fall times on September 21st.
