Grandchuldren loved the small ferry used on the day to Williamstown. They could feel the movement of the water. It gave them an opportunity to experiance of being on the bay when the water was a bit more turbulent. Staff were lovely and helpful.

I find that hard to answer after our problems getting tickets, getting wrong information from the guide at the Williamstown Wharf, sitting on seats in the ferry that were not attached to the floor and slid around and didn't provide adequate leg room, not being able to hear the commentary because it wasn't loud enough.
