Items to Bring Along

Make sure you have a valid form of identification with you for the tour. It's also a good idea to pack a reusable water bottle, sunglasses, and sunscreen to stay comfortable during your visit. Since the ferry can be quite chilly, wear clothing that suits the weather and bring along a light jacket for extra warmth.
