No traffic, no road rage - just jump on board a CityCat or ferry and enjoy the Brisbane River scenery.
CityCats and CityFerries
CityCats are a popular, speedy way to travel the river. CityFerries are smaller and make more stops than CityCats.
Popular ferry destinations include South Bank, St Lucia, New Farm, West End, Hamilton, Bulimba, Toowong and the city.

We never tire of rides on the Brisbane ferries, whether just for enjoyment, or the purpose of reaching a destination. However, it is a half hour walk to the nearest ferry wharf in either direction, North Quay or Regatta for us. Therefore, we would like to propose that whilst the Hale Street Bridge is under construction, consideration for ferry terminals to be placed on both sides of the Brisbane river near the bridge exit and entrance points, as a much needed requirement.
