Whats it like?? You just drive your vehicle onto the boat?? On the ride can you get out of your car and check the scenery out??

Yes. You have to stay in your vehicle until the ferrymen tell you it's OK to get out and wander the boat. At that point you can walk around for the entire 20 minute ride. Bring a loaf of bread to feed the seagulls. They'll eat right out of your hand. If you have kids, they'll love the experience.

I'm guessing if you are lucky you might see some dolphins also?
