TeanneTX Posted September 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have bought the "EcoHopper 24 hr pass" for our day in Sydney. We are staying in Circular Quay and want to start our trip from there. I can't seem to figure out which ferry to use to go to the usual places like Manly Bay, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach, etc. We want a nice day in Sydney seeing the sights using the ferry system. Can anyone help me with an itinerary and the ferry schedule. We are a group in our 60's, so not looking for "excitement"-just relaxing walks and rides on the ferry.

millinz Posted September 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Just a note that the Eco Hopper ferries are different to the public Sydney ferries run by Transport NSW and they have a different timetable, different tickets too, and one can't be used on the other. They leave from Wharf 6 at Circular Quay. Their current timetable (up to Dec 17) is on their website here: http://www.sydneyharbourecohopper.com.au/media/ecohopper_timetable.jpg The Eco Hopper starts at Darling Harbour, stops at Circular Quay then zigzags across the harbour to stop at the zoo, Rose Bay in weekends, Watson's Bay, the Quarantine Station then on to Manly. It stops at the same spots on the way back and you could stay on past Circular Quay to go to Darling Harbour. Ferries don't go to Bondi Beach as it would require them to leave the harbour. You'd either train to Bondi Junction and bus, or there's a couple of red double-decker hop-on-off buses which leave outside the train station at Circular Quay that have a Bondi loop.
