Animals and pets on ferries
We have been reading all your comments on our recent facebook post regarding pets and animals onboard our services and have decided to review the NSW Passenger Transport Act and regulations again to see if we can still allow you to travel with them.
Rather than strictly enforcing the NSW Passenger Transport Act and regulations from 1 July we have decided to take the approach to monitor usage, provide guidance to customers and enforce if there is any risk to other passengers’ safety or wellbeing.
This means you can continue to use our services with your pets and animals like you have in the past, but we do reserve the right to refuse travel.
This may occur when your animals or pets are not clean, appear vicious or likely to annoy, threaten or inconvenience other customers, or if the service has reached capacity.
We do listen to your feedback and want to provide the best service possible and feel
that the above approach is the best compromise going forward.

"It was an absolutely great whale watching experience. We saw a lot of humpback whales and dolphins. Beautiful day. Staffs were very friendly. The boat was large, comfy and clean. It was really enjoyable and I'll definitely come back. :)"

"Great deal booked online and a really lovely 1 1/2 hrs cruising the harbour. We enjoyed the outdoor deck upstairs, but the inside area was just beautiful for those who preferred to be inside. Staff were lovely and overall experience was terrific. We were blessed with the weather... would highly recommend!"
