STATEN ISLAND FERRY

Shipping company
5/5
10 reviews

A great ride on a ferry from Manhattan to Staten Island. Although there is not much to see or do on Staten Island, the trip between the two islands is really worth it. The ferry passes by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The crossing gives you a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline. The round trip takes approximately 1 hour from the Battery Park terminal at 4 Whitehall Street (daily, 24 hours a day, every 30 minutes). We advise you to return from Staten Island at sunset.

Santa Cruz Island and Anacapa Island are served year-round, while seasonal trips are offered to the other three islands, generally between April and November. Remember to book in advance, as boats fill up quickly and some islands are only served a few times a week or month. All departures are from the port of Ventura.
