Island Hopping Ohio's Lake Erie Islands - A great way to spend a week or a weekend!

Can you visit more than one island by passenger ferry?  Yes, you can! 

What a fun way to spend a day, weekend or a week. 

The Goodtime II has an island cruise that lets you enjoy time on both Kelleys Island and South Bass Island.  It leaves Sandusky, takes you to Kelleys Island so you can visit the quaint downtown.  From Kelleys Island you'll be taken to the village of Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island where you can enjoy the village walking or rent a bike or golf cart and explore the entire island.  The Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce, of which we are proud members, has a great website that lists many of the restaurants, gift shops and activities.  The Jet Express will take you back to your home port when you've finished your day.

The Jet Express can take you from the mainland to Kelleys Island and Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island, and then back again,  You have a little more control of your schedule if you want to spend more time on Kelleys Island or explore some of the other islands.  

You can also take the Kelleys Island Ferry from the mainland, catch the Jet Express to Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island, and then hop it back to Kelleys Island where you can take the Kelleys Island ferry back to the mainland where you started.

Another trip option is to take the  Miller Ferry to South Bass Island and then hop a bus to the north end of the island where you can catch the Sonny S to Middle Bass Island or the Jet Express to Kelleys Island for a day trip.  Make a week of it and explore all three!  When you are done exploring simply go back the way you came.

Want to visit another island as part of your adventure?  Take a tour of Ohio State Universities Gibraltar Island located between South Bass Island and Middle Bass Island.

If you can live out of a backpack or carry-on you can have a great adventure visiting Ohio's Lake Erie Islands.  Take some time to explore one of Ohio's greatest treasures.
