The ferry system here is great. I think by numbers of passengers it is less than Hong Kong but i feel like it is of more use here in Sydney. Wonderful way to see the sites and get out on the water cheap. Go to Watson's Bay for the afternoon and enjoy the experience. Leave a Comment

One of the best ways to see (and get around) Sydney is on a Ferry. The ferries are located on "Circular Quay and can take you to more than 41 different warfs". There are all different types of ferries. We cruised on the ferries to Taronga Zoo, Manly Beach and Watson's Bay. Download their ferry schedules via their website. The prices are reasonable and you enjoy a fantastic view of Sydney as you are crusing to your location. Leave a Comment

 One of the Ferry Boats by keida84 One of my favorite things about Sydney are the ferry boats. The fleet ranges from boat to river cats (big catamarans that prowl the waters of the Sydney embayments). The ferries run in conjuction with the buses and the trains, connecting everywhere from Parramatta to Darling Harbor and the Circular Quay (pronounced "key"). We took the Circular Quay to Cremorne Point ferry at least 2 to 3 times daily during our stay. The ferries are an affordable mode of transportation and if you purchase a "Day Tripper" pass for $15.00 AUD, then you will have access to all the ferry routes, bus routes, including the Explorer bus, and trains. I found the website for the ferries before I left for Sydney and the transportation office mailed me a transportaion packet free! It came with discount coupons and maps! Leave a Comment

by RedEaredPanda For a more majestic trip to the city, and an unparalleled view of the harbour, Sydney Ferries are a must. Less crowded than the trains and buses, they operate from Circular Quay, and are just one indicator of Sydney putting its world reknowned harbour to good use. The ferry routes that Sydneysiders use for the purposes of commuting run regularly between 6am and midnight, whilst those which service tourist attractions have a more limited service. With the suburbs sprawling out along the banks of the Harbour, there is no shortage of destinations, from inner-harbour areas like Kirribilli and Neutral Bay, a route that gives a ducks eye view of Kirribilli House, the official residence of the Australian Prime Minister, to Darling Harbour, Parramatta and Taronga Zoo. The ferry is also the most sensible way of getting to the ever popular Manly on the North Shore, and all ferries will give you picture postcard views of the majestic Harbour Bridge and legendary Opera House.

 typical sydney ferry by willy_wonka there are numerous waterways around sydney. the harbor is huge, then you have the paramatta river snaking all the way inland. a great way to get to cool places like manly, palm beach and paramatta is by ferry. so much cheaper and stress free then driving in the mad sydney traffic! you can pick up a $15 day pass that takes you around 2 zones all day. or a one ride ticket costs $4. either way, its just so beautiful to cruise on a ferry, what a great way to get into work every day!

 From the ferry. Metro - brown building in centre. by lou31 I reccommend getting an all day ferry pass. About $15. You can travel around the harbour at your own leisure. The only hitch being you have to return to Circular Quay each time you want to head off to somewhere else. This didn't prove a big problem. We managed to see alot in the time we had as the ferries are not slow and seem to run on time. The time spent travelling is enjoyable as there is just so much going on. Don't forget your camera. Pictures coming soon. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 View of the harbour as seen from the ferry by martin_nl One of the nicest things to do in Sydney is to take the ferry to Manly Beach. You depart from Circular Quay, wharf 3 if I'm not mistaken, and the ferry will take you through the harbour right to Manly in about 30-40 minutes. The best time to take the ferry is on a sunny day during the weekend. There will be so many boats out there on the water, it's just great! When you arrive in Manly you can do some shopping in all the surf shops. At the end of the shopping street you will have the beach. You wil have great views of the Opera House as you depart Circular Quay and on your way back you can take magnificient pictures of the city and the Harbour Bridge. Go back around sunset, which is around 19:30 or 20:00 in summertime. Leave a Comment

by Quero Matilda boat company offers a range of products from sightseeing tours to simple ferry service. The Rocket Harbour Express is a single ticket good for jump-off-jump-on service to five stops around the harbour. If you want to go to the zoo for a couple of hours, for example, this is a nice transportation option. The Rocket Express also provides commentary along the way. Leave a Comment

 Docked at Coffs Harbour Marina by unravelau The endeavour replica here photographed in Coffs Harbour has done a number of trips from Sydney since it was fitted out. It provides opportunities for young people to experience life as it was. It was exciting to see it roll into Coffs Harbour..... Leave a Comment

 SYDNEY..FERRIES CONSTANTLY COMING AND GOING.. by DennyP, 4 more photos The ferries are great to see all the harbour sites with so many destinations..but avoid travelling on them if possible in Peak hour they are packed with workers commuting..They are a great way to get around though..they go to many destinations..and offer great photo opportunities of city and Harbour panoramas..A cheap way to look at the city from the harbour.
