Highlights

Relaxing half hour cruise
Comfortable vessel

Take a day out from the city as you sail the harbour to picturesque Days Bay.

In the heart of Queens Wharf, you’ll find East by West Ferries, with a comfortable vessel to relax on as you cruise for an easy 30 minutes, with views of the city as your backdrop.

Days Bay is the perfect short escape with a beach to stroll, bushwalks to explore, ice cream to devour, water sports on fine days, or bikes to hire for a cruise around the coast. There's plenty of delicious eatery options when you’ve worked up a hunger, or kick back with a glass of wine as the sun sets.

Once you’ve had your fill, East by West Ferries will transport you back to the city on any of our scheduled return trips. The crew are happy to share their local knowledge and you may even spot dolphins and other marine life frolicking in the harbour as the capital appears before you. Your city mini escape awaits!
