HAVE A SWELL TIME!

There are some fantastic waves to enjoy near Manly, but you don’t need a surfboard! Just get on board the Manly Ferry! As you travel past the heads of Sydney Harbour, the swell picks up, and the ride can get very exciting. It’s a thrilling experience that can be enjoyed equally from the inner or outer decks.
