Sydney Ferries Travel Guide
What better way to visit Sydney’s most popular attractions than to cruise Sydney Harbour by ferry?
As one of the largest natural harbours in the world, Sydney Harbour is definitely something all visitors should experience. Sydney ferries are a great way to explore the Harbour, while also being a pleasurable and convenient travel option for locals and visitors alike.
Whether commuting to a meeting, relaxing on a Harboursights cruise or heading for a day at Taronga Zoo or the Sydney Aquarium, you can enjoy the city’s beauty from the comfort of the ferry deck as you glide past secluded bays, golden beaches and rugged bushland.
Sydney Ferries’ hub is located at bustling Circular Quay, Sydney’s CBD’s doorstep. From here, passengers can be whisked to 41 wharves around the city, including Taronga Zoo, popular Manly Beach and the quaint harbour-side village of Balmain.
Pick up a Sydney ferries timetable to find more details on times, tickets and fare options. Travellers can choose from commuter passes, harbour and river cruises or day tripper tickets if intending to use other forms of public transport the same day. With kids under four free and special family rates available, discovering Sydney by ferry is ideal for families.
Sydney ferries operate 7 days a week and on Public Holidays, from 6am to midnight, according to the service. For Sydney ferry timetables and fare information, visit the Sydney Ferries website. Alternatively, call Transport Infoline or visit one of the many TransIt shops around the city.
