Ok but really needs to be more frequent to every stop

3.00We have used on/off buses that run every 30-40 minutes. The ferry does not run very frequently and sometimes goes from one stop then back to the same stop it just left. A lot of time between ferries especially in the afternoon. The water is rough around Manly.

5.00Very convenient way to travel and sight see other areas of Sydney. The boats are punctual and comfortable. We really enjoyed exploring and shopping at Manly beach. Did I mention, this pass is wayyyy cheaper than the local public boat. I spent $50 one way across the harbor w the local boat. With this hop on hop off u can stop wherever u want as long as u want and not worry about paying for each trip. Well worth just as a tour of Sydney Harbor but even better with the stops.
