It was our first time taking this ferry. I was thrilled by the very nice and helpful onsite team, as well as the ferry team. It was very memorable time for me and my boy. I will definitely recommend to friends!

We were the only ones on the cruise! Great service. It arrived 15 minutes late- we were getting a bit panicky but needn't have worried. Definitely worth doing.

Your experience

You'll not want this ferry to hurry

Some ways to travel are simply better. This stands especially true for the 1hr ferry transfer between Melbourne and Williamstown. Apart from being super convenient and comfortable, the ferry transfer offers spectacular views of Australia's favorite coastline. You'll come across the mighty, like the Westgate Bridge, and the cool, like the 135+-year-old ship Polly Woodside.

If you're overdue on a relaxed day out, exploring an old coastal town, Williamstown might just be what you need. You could take a self-guided heritage walk to visit iconic spots like the Timebell Tower or the old Customs House or relax at the beach. Chill at the waterfront cafes and slowly head to Port Philip Bay. Pause to admire the sunset, before you hop on a ferry back to Melbourne City.

In too much love with the river?

It's perfectly okay if you just want to relive the hour immediately afterward and skip exploring the lands. Opt for a round trip and make this a 2-hour cruise. And hey, click all those photos you might have missed the first time around because you were awestruck.
