Ferryman Cruises Bribie Island

• HomeThe PUMICESTONE PASSAGE MARINE PARK is recognised as one of the most important bird and marine habitats on the east coast of Australia, and is considered to be the smallest estaurine area in the world that has a permanent population of Dugong. Cruises aboard ‘The Ferryman’ gives you the chance of seeing Dugong, Dolphins, Turtle, Jabiru, Swans, Sea Eagles, Osprey, Kangaroos and Dingoes as well as many of the 360 different bird species – many of which migrate from the Northern Hemisphere to these shores each year. This marine park is on the CAMBA and JAMBA agreements and is a registered RAMSAR site.

DIRECTIONS:

At the end of the bridge, as you come onto Bribie Island immediately turn sharp left onto Sylvan Beach Esplanade. Follow this for about 350 metres.

(Do not stop near the small red hire boats where the Ferryman is generally moored. You may see the boat here in shore but we are only loading supplies and staff. The boat will move down to our boarding site closer to boarding time – 15 minutes prior to departure.)

The road will split into a V – KEEP LEFT – and continue down this short dead end street which is directly opposite the Bribie Island Hotel/LiquorLand drive-through bottle shop.

Here you will find parking (including Disabled) as well as a bus turnaround area plus bus parking.

(Buses may wish to stop about 200 metres short of this cul-de-sac for their passengers to use the council toilet facilities on the left in the park, and then continue to the parking area mentioned above.)

A concrete path will take you to the foreshore where a sign indicates where we depart which is a set of 3 stairs straight onto the beach (not a jetty) - the Ferryman cruise boat is designed to load directly from the beach, with a ramp directly up onto the boat for easy passenger boarding.

Wheelchairs and walkers are able to access the Ferryman Cruise vessel with staff made available to assist.   Please note there are a couple of steps to take the wheelchairs down however we can discuss this with you.

Please advise if passengers with wheelchairs/walkers are coming aboard to enable us to be ready to assist. If you have a lot of wheelchairs in your group, we can arrange another site more suitable.
