Travel between Melbourne and the seaside suburb of Williamstown by ferry and see the city from the water. Departing from Berth 2 on the Southbank Promenade, the boat heads down the river towards Port Phillip Bay and arrives at Gem Pier in Williamstown. Along the way you can spot 15 landmarks, including the Southgate Arts and Leisure Precinct, Flinders Street Station, Eureka Skydeck, the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre, the 19th-century sailing ship Polly Woodside, the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel, Bolte Bridge, the Swanson Dock shipping area, the Westgate Bridge and Scienceworks. A live guide accompanies the ride in English, and coffee and tea are included. Choose a one-way ride of about 1 hour to Williamstown, then stroll along the harbour, browse the local art galleries or relax on the beach, or a roundtrip of about 2 hours that brings you back to Melbourne. Ferries depart from Melbourne only, and departure times change daily with tides, weather and major events, so you choose your departure time when you book.
