Sightseeing
IT'S FREE!!! Runs every 30 minutes. The ferry takes you from Galveston to Bolivar Peninsula. The dolphins know its schedule, and sometimes you see more from the ferry than you might from the Dolphin Tours. Recommend driving on and off. Bolivar was pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Ike, so the closest restaurant is a little over 10 miles down the road over there.
