Bulls Island Trip Planned for May

We hope to schedule a private trip to Bulls Island on the Coastal Expeditions ferry on Saturday May 21, 2022  9:00am -2:00pm. 

We will be walking about 1 1/2 - 2 miles on flat terrain. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Proper sun protection is highly recommended. Bring water to drink (preferably in a reusable bottle) as there is no food, water or other accommodations on the island. There are restrooms at the picnic area!
*There is a $40 per person fee for the round trip ferry.

Contact Bill Lanham at  guylanham@aol.com for further information. Prior registation for this trip is required.
