How to get to the Trolley

  • Take the free Spit shuttle bus which is on your left when you get off the dock from the Cruise ship. These buses leave every ten minutes going back and forth from the Salty Dawg and the ship. 
  • Purchase your Trolley ticket with cash($15 per person) from the Trolley agent located by Salty Dog drop off. They will be selling from 10-1, after that you may purchase a ticket from the trolley driver. Please know on Cruise ship days there is no group or family discounts available.
  • The trolley route takes 1 hour to do  as it is a trip to town and back. If you miss a departure  enjoy the local shops and restaurants while waiting for the next pick up.
  • We will stop at regular pickup spots during the day with space available

There are multiple stops throughout the day but here are some highlighted stops on Cruise Ship Day
