So, you pay to the Express for going over and back, separate for the kayak.>>

Barge docks at an area south of Pebbly Beach. Unless you want to get into the water there, you must hire a taxi capable of transporting a yak to the town. I have not seen one yet.>>

Take the taxi from the Mole to the barge. Load up the kayak and bring it to town.>>

Then reverse all of that for departure.>>
Take the kayak to the barge then take the taxi to the Mole. >>
Renting one there is an easier choice. $50.00 for a full day. $35.00 I/2 day. I was planning to do that when I heard of threshers and leopard sharks around. It was too windy and I was too tired.>>

Next time I am on the island, I will do that first while I am fresh and rested.>>

I believe the catalina flyer or one of the other shuttle transport for a small fee. I recall $10-15.
