Popular places accessible by ferry include Darling Harbour, Balmain, Cockatoo Island,
Sydney Olympic Park and Parramatta to the west; Milsons Point/Luna Park, North
Sydney, Kirribilli, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Mosman, Taronga Zoo and Manly on the
North Shore; and Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay in the Eastern Suburbs. All fer-
ries depart from Circular Quay.
The standard single fare for most harbour destinations is $5.60; boats to Manly, Sydney

($44.80). If you're heading to Taronga Zoo by ferry, consider the all-inclusive ZooPass
(adult/child $52/26).
