H2O Water Taxis helps passengers travel between suitable Sydney Harbour wharves, waterfront restaurants, attractions, venues and private vessels. Whether you need a direct point-to-point transfer, a private sightseeing cruise or transport for a larger event, we aim to make the arrangements clear and convenient.
We provide private, pre-arranged services rather than a fixed public ferry timetable. Your journey is organised around your chosen locations, passenger numbers and requested travel time, subject to availability and access conditions.
From waterfront restaurants to harbour islands
Sydney Harbour is full of places best experienced from the water. We arrange transfers to suitable wharves near popular waterfront destinations, including Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Manly and other locations around the harbour.
We also assist with travel to approved island wharves, including Shark Island and Clark Island, where access, visitor bookings or permits may need to be arranged separately with the relevant site manager.

How bookings work
Our online system lets you see a fare before deciding whether to submit a booking.
Get an instant quote
Choose your pickup, destination, passenger numbers and journey details to view the fare displayed by the booking tool.
Submit your booking
If you’re ready to proceed, complete the booking form and securely provide the card details requested by the system.
Receive confirmation
H2O reviews the booking and confirms the arrangements. For card bookings, payment is charged upon acceptance under the applicable booking terms.
Good to know: An instant quote is not a submitted booking. Submitting a booking is a request for the service, and travel is confirmed only once H2O has accepted it and issued confirmation.
Clear arrangements before you travel
We confirm the boarding location and practical requirements for your journey. Different wharves have different access conditions, and some may have steps, restrictions or temporary closures.
Passenger capacity depends on the vessel allocated. Our largest individual vessel currently carries up to 28 passengers; bigger groups may need more than one vessel.
Our vessels are not suitable for wheelchair boarding, and we do not offer beach landings. Please tell us about luggage, prams, mobility concerns or equipment before submitting your booking so suitability can be discussed.
