getting from Boston to Martha's Vineyard

What is the best way to get fron Boston to Martha's Vineyard? I will be in Boston without a car and want to take the ferry from Woods Hole to M.V. What is the easiest and cheapest way to get to Wood's Hole?

I don't know if you can catch a bus from Boston to Falmouth -- but, check with Brush Hill and the Plymouth & Brockton lines. But, as an alternative, you can take the bus from South Station to Hyannis, and take the ferry from Hyannis to Martha's Vineyard.

John - Good luck i'm trying to do the same thing! So far i think the bus from south station is best. I'll be checking and see if anyone has a better idea.

There are also plenty of flights from Boston to MV.

John,
The Bonanza bus line goes from South Station to the ferry in Wood's Hole.

I too think the Bonanza bus is your best bet as it drops you off right at the ferry. I also recommend purchasing your round-trip ferry ticket at the bus station when you buy your bus ticket so you won't have to wait in line at Woods Hole.

Thanks for the tip. I think that Bonanza bus is the way to go. Any web address for the ferry line to MV?

Thanks,

Any recommends, mopeds or bikes to get around the island. Also, what are some things to see/do?

Depends where you're staying.... I always rent a bike down in Edgartown along the waterfront. A great ride is along the ocean between Edgartown and OB. Not far, but so lovely! Lock you bike up in OB, grab a burger on the boardwalk and continue on to Vineyard Haven for icecream at Mad Martha's! Work it all off on the bike ride back to Edgardtown!

I'd stay away from the moped option - too many cars and other mopeds in the summertime, though it is a nice way to get out to the Cliffs if you're up for the adventure!

Have fun!
