Independent travelers are a different breed from tour group visitors.
Ferry riders enjoy sun and conversation.
Instead of following an itinerary, they're looking for a shower, a spot to sleep and the best possible trip on a limited budget. The question most often asked by independent travelers is where to stay. There are a few designated campgrounds. See Page 24 for details. Backpackers without wheels who want to have access to downtown can stay at the campground located about 1 mile south of town on Thane Road.
