Transportation
Trolley
There are three ways
to get around the island – by foot, by golf cart, or by the Island
Trolley. Intertwining on a seven mile rail network, the Island
Trolleys are the fastest, easiest, and favorite method of
transportation for anyone visiting Baderman Island. Interconnecting
all main sections of the island, two trolleys operate in opposite
directions on the island all day long. In fact, all night long as
well. Both trains run from 6 am to midnight then a single train runs
the “night-shift” from midnight to 6 am.
Nicknamed Clocky and
Counter-Clocky (for the directions that they travel) the trains have
been delighting visitors to the island for years. These trolleys are
always free of charge to anyone visiting the island and are quickly
becoming an island favorite for all ages. Heading to the Spa? Take
the trolley. Going over to the Botanical Gardens? Take the trolley.
Planning on a round of golf? Take the trolley. Regardless of your
plans, you know that you can always count on the personalized
service and easy storage available for your golf bags, luggage, or
personal items that is available on every trolley.
