Berth 1Wilderness Dock (Connected to Cannery via Transporter Gondola)

Allow sufficient transfer buffer when meeting independent guides outside port security gates.

Berth 2Adventure Dock (Direct foot access to Cannery Plaza)

Allow sufficient transfer buffer when meeting independent guides outside port security gates.

Last Frontier’s planning method estimates whether an excursion fits the ship’s port window using the published all-aboard time, activity duration, meeting logistics, transfer time, and a planning margin. It is not a guarantee of ship timing, tour operation, or return.
