Taronga Zoo Ferry

For an Englishman visiting the city, taking a ferry to the zoo was cool. It also gave me a chance to see Sydney from the water too.
It was a great day out for us!!!

Nice ferry ride

This is definitely a must if you on your way to the zoo, cars are boring! Plus you just don’t want to miss the view. Quick trip from Circular Quay, perfect on a nice day for pictures. Affordable choice for getting to the zoo and a nice little excursion on the water prior to your zoo adventure!

When you plan on going to the Taronga Zoo, you have to look at is as a day trip to truly enjoy the experience of this amazing zoo and the natural beauty of the city in which it is located. Ferries leave directly from Circular Quay around every half an hour and go directly to the Zoo. The ride is around 10 minutes, which is sufficient time to capture wonderful photographs of the harbor. During the week, the ferries depart from Circular Quay at 6:45 AM, with the last departure at 6:55 PM. On your return, the last ferry you can catch from the Zoo is at 7:55 PM. On the weekends, departure times from the Quay begin at 8:55 AM, and the last ferry back to the city is at 7 PM. On the weekends, it is definitely more crowded. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to catch the ferry during sunset, when orange and pink glows consume the harbor and delightfully reflect from the skyscrapers. Perfect picture opportunity!
