My friends and i go every Oct. For anyone considering a trip, the ferry isn't running (it often breaks down) you can call the park office to get phone numbers of guides to take you over. The prices are OK. If you have 4-6 people it will run about 100 bucks round trip.
About the park- its primitive so take everything you need, especially water, ice, and bug spray. There are miles of roads to bike on, secluded beach, and lots of wildlife (deer, hogs, alligators, turkeys, coyotes etc). Lots of great fishing especially for those who wade or 'yak fish.
The best part is there's rarely more than 20 other people on the whole island.
