Long Wharf ferry terminal - access to the Harbor Islands

The ferry terminal at Long Wharf (near the New England Aquarium) is the primary departure point for seasonal ferries to the Boston Harbor Islands, including Spectacle Island and Georges Island. Local operators such as Boston Harbor Cruises and the National Park Service run regular summer ferry services from this wharf, which many Bostonians use for day trips to the islands. Long Wharf's location on the central waterfront makes it an established transit point connecting downtown Boston to nearby recreational islands. The terminal area is also a hub for other sightseeing and commuter boat services.
