Preparation steps:
- Check the ferry schedules in advance and plan to depart early to make the most of the day. Pack a picnic basket with easy-to-carry items like sandwiches, fruits, and plenty of water.
- Dress comfortably for biking and walking. Wear sneakers, light clothing, and don't forget sun protection like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses as June can be quite sunny.
- Bring a camera or make sure your phone is charged to capture the beautiful views and memories you'll make together.
