Ferries

Our most important ferry route is between Port Melbourne and Devonport in the north.  The Spirit of Tasmania ferries transport you and your vehicle on an overnight journey that saves time and accommodation costs. 

If you want to explore Bruny Island, south of Hobart, there is a daily ferry service from Kettering and Barnes Bay on Bruny's northern point. 

In Hobart, you can take the Emma Lisa from Hobart waterfront to Bellerive on the eastern shore. And nearby you will find a water taxi service to run you up and down the Derwent River.

One of the most beautiful ferry journeys is between Cynthia Bay, at the southern end of Lake St Clair, to Narcissus Point that delivers you to the end of the Overland Track.  Glacier-formed Lake St Clair is Australia's deepest high altitude lake and stretches for more than 18 kilometres. You travel past the soaring beauty of Mount Olympus and the mountains of the Traveller Range.  

To get to Maria Island National Park, you can take a ferry from Triabunna, about 45 minutes' drive north of Hobart.
