It is very convenient to book a ferry ticket online, but there are too few options for shipping schedule time. If there is more shipping schedule time, I hope it will improve next time booking a ferry ticket online.

I recommend to purchase this tram ticket in advance, so you wont need to queue for the tickets. We went there on Saturday noon and it was completely crowded.

This is the second time I purchased the Six Nations Staycation package, which includes two meals and accommodation for the same night for $1,600. Chinese food is, as always, Six Nations’ strong point. Highly recommended!
