Start with Pier B arrival guidance02
Compare walking, carts, scooters and bicycles
Walk
Compact Old Town with no pickup or handover; heat and the return walk still matter.
Golf cart
Group comfort and a wider loop; driver 21+, legal parking and a separate rental return.
Scooter
Only for experienced riders 21+ with prior scooter experience OR a motorcycle endorsement. Traffic and weather matter.
Bicycle
For a confident active rider; allow for fit, locking and handover. Bone Island offers bicycles; a separate bicycle-only rental is directly on Pier B.
No mode is right for everyone. Choose for the route, group and ship-return margin, not the number of hours alone.
03
When walking is enough
For waterfront sights and a few nearby Old Town blocks, walking avoids collection, parking and rental-return overhead. The three-hour highlights walk is built around that choice.
Wheels can still be worthwhile for comfort or flexibility. If you add them to a walking plan, shorten optional sightseeing before reducing the return allowance.
