Flight

LaGuardia, JFK, Islip, or Newark

You will likely be able to find a direct flight to LaGuardia or JFK airport. Newark is an option, but not ideal. If you don't mind a layover and are planning on renting a car/taking the Hampton Jitney Bus, Islip Airport will get you closest to the island.

Rental Car

Rental Company (see below for discount) or your car!

We are working on getting discounts from one or more car rental companies - stay tuned! We highly recommend renting a car to get to the Island as this is going to be the most flexible option for your visit. We have provided bus and train options to get from the airport to Greenport (where you will get on the Shelter Island Ferry), but once you arrive on the island you will need to call local taxis to get around. Ubers and Lyfts do not work on the island. Know others going to the wedding? Consider carpooling!

Train

Hampton Jitney

If you are flying into Islip, you will need to take a short (~10 min) uber/lyft/taxi to get to the bus from the airport. When purchasing your Hampton Jitney bus ticket, select the Islip Airport Connection (AIE) - Eastbound stop as your pickup point. Select a drop-off of Greenport (GP), which will be right at the ferry. If you are flying into LaGuardia, you will need to take a ~20 minute uber/lyft/taxi to get to the bus from the airport. When purchasing your Hampton Jitney bus ticket, select the Queens Airport Connection Eastbound (APE) stop as your pickup point. Select a drop-off of Greenport (GP), which will be right at the ferry. If you are flying into JFK, you will need to take a ~40 minute uber/lyft/taxi to get to the bus from the airport. When purchasing your Hampton Jitney bus ticket, select the Queens Airport Connection Eastbound (APE) stop as your pickup point. Select a drop-off of Greenport (GP), which will be right at the ferry.

Train

Long Island Rail Road

If you are flying into LaGuardia, search the schedule from Woodside to Greenport. Woodside is a quick uber/lyft/taxi ride away from the airport, and there are train lines that will take you to Greenport (with a transfer at Ronkonkoma), dropping you off right at the ferry. If you are flying into JFK, search the schedule from Jamaica to Greenport. You will take the "AirTran" from JFK to the Jamaica Station. There, a train line will take you to Greenport (with a transfer at Ronkonkoma), dropping you off right at the ferry.

Travel Note

Shelter Island Taxi

If you need to get around while on the island, we recommend using Shelter Island Taxi. Cash, venmo, and all major credit cards are accepted.
