Finally, Elba Island administrators have been doing everything they can to encourage bicycle tourism for years. A fun and environmentally friendly way to learn about this wonderful area.
How to board the bicycle on the ferry
It is necessary, first of all, to make a clarification:
- If you board your car on the ferry, simply place your bike on the luggage rack of your vehicle. The only caution to be observed when booking is to report the presence and size of the roof rack.
- If, however, you decide to travel light and board a bicycle only, simply indicate this on the reservation form.
Please note. Bicycles will be boarded first so that cyclists do not have to breathe in exhaust fumes from motor vehicles during loading. Therefore, it will be necessary to reach the pier adjacent to the ferry before the other travelers.
