It’s a great way to get an idea of the Perth city and surrounding areas by cruising up and down the majestic Swan River.
Return ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle with blurry windows that prevent photography

This is essentially a ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle and back. Took plenty of photos out the windows but they're all blurred by the glass. There was some commentary during the trip, but hardly justifies taking a tour boat compared to a normal ferry.
