Getting Here

The ferry is half the holiday.

A 30-minute glide past the Opera House and under the gaze of the Harbour Bridge, or 18 minutes flat if you're in a hurry. Either way, Sydney's most underrated experience and it costs less than your morning coffee.

The route

From Circular Quay to Manly Wharf

The Manly Ferry has been crossing this stretch of harbour since 1854, making it one of the oldest continuously-running ferry routes anywhere in the world. There are now two services that do the trip: the big, slow, beloved Freshwater-class boats run by Transport for NSW, and the sleek Manly Fast Ferry catamarans operated by NRMA. Both leave from Circular Quay. Both drop you straight into the heart of Manly.

As you leave the Quay the Opera House sails go by on your right, and the Harbour Bridge rises up behind you. After that it's open water, sandstone cliffs, and if the harbour's feeling generous, a pod of bottlenose dolphins surfing the wake. Tap on with an Opal card or a contactless credit card and find yourself a spot up top.

由 Transport for NSW 运营 · 3 号码头 F1 线

绿金涂装的大型双头船自 1980 年代起跑这条线，正是为此而造。宽阔船身能轻松抵御港湾入口的涌浪，两层开放式上甲板，舱内是打磨过的木长椅。MV Freshwater、MV Queenscliff 和 MV Collaroy 是元老；闲时由更新的 Emerald 级顶替。

Fast Ferry 时刻表

我们的建议

去程坐 Freshwater（让歌剧院和大桥慢慢从眼前划过），如果晚了又累就乘 Fast Ferry 回去。只坐一次的话，慢慢来。上层甲板右舷，手里一支小卖部的冰淇淋——这就是那张明信片。
