This small punt-style ferry crosses the Yarra River to Herring Island, operating on weekends and public holidays, typically between late morning and mid-afternoon. The crossing itself takes only a few minutes, making it one of the shortest ferry rides in Melbourne. Once across, the island features walking tracks, open bushland, and a collection of outdoor sculptures spread throughout.
