Townsville Nelly Bay Ferry reviews

  • "Above and beyond"

    Great service, both ways. Managed to squeeze on an earlier Ferry on the way out. Staff very friendly. On the way back, one of the staff came over and moved my suitcase out of the rain. At Townsville I realised I'd left my phone on Maggie Island... The staff located it and put it on the next barge across. Awesome service :)
