Walk (recommended) or drive onto the ferry from the terminal downtown across the bay to Wolfe Island and have a bite to eat at the Wolfe Island Grill. Steps away from the ferry terminal on the Island, you can easily cross, eat and catch the next ferry back. Fantastic views of Kingston from a different perspective. http://www.wolfeisland.com/ferry.php
