Best way to get from Parramatta Area to the City is by Rivercat. What could be better - sitting in the sun on our beautiful harbour watching the sights & someone else is driving! The staff are all very helpful & courteous. So relaxing and great value - you're bound to fall asleep on your return journey. Tip - If... More

We booked Captain Cook Cruises to Taronga Zoo. The service was great and the cruise was on scheduled. It is definitely value for money as we have the choice to hop on hop off in one of their stopovers.

The ferries are a wonderful way to see Sydney Harbour. It's lovely to sit and relax and watch the scenery go by.

We took the ferry to Darling Harbor one evening and to Manly Beach another. The Ferry rides offer free wifi and are reasonably priced plus you can't beat the view. You could pay more for entertainment but if you just need to get from point A to point B, take the Sydney Ferry.

The best way to see the Harbour and all free with your MyMulti Card. Visit Luna Park - Manly - Taronga Zoo or just ride to take a rest or to take photos.

If there was one reason to move to Sydney it would be the ferries. I love them. What a wonderfully tranquil way to travel. And the views of the harbours of Circular Quay and Darling Harbour are terrific, best opera house views too

The ferries are very easy to access and ferry information easily accessible online or at the wharf. Some of the ferries are a little aged but this doesn't take away from the pleasure of cruising the harbour in the ferry to get from A to B. Wonderful views of Sydney

We took the free shuttle 555 to circular harbor and trying to figure out how to get to Cockle Bay. We saw that there is a ferry that goes to cockle bay so we took it. It was about 5pm and it was a nice evening. On the ferry, its a nice view of the Opera house and Sydney beach.... More

To see the best on offer on Sydney harbour, just hop a ferry anywhere Nd sit back and enjoy the sun, smell of the sea and the views of bridge, opera house, and all the live on this busy harbour.

Since we were living in Mosman on our holiday, it made sense to take the ferry - which takes just 20 minutes. The best way to do it is to buy a Travel Ten (or its equivalent), which is economical and handy. We used it at all times of day and night, and it was always on time! Congratulations!
