The short ride to Balboa Island provides amazing views. More

We parked our car in Newport and took the Ferry over to Balboa Island. It was awesome!! Really cheap, and though the ride is pretty short it was still well worth it. The water was beautiful, we saw tons of little sailboats and we got some great pictures from the ferry of the little homes and shops on the waterfront.... More

The only way to get there, pretty much. Just a short boat ride, nothing exciting More

This ferry ride is spectacular. We walked on and took it across the bay to the fun zone. No waiting when walking on. It was a beautiful early evening and it couldn't have been a more wonderful ride. When we were done walking the fun zone and having dinner, we hopped back on and took it back across the bay... More

It's just a little shorter, but no less spectacular. On the right month Sea Lions in the bay, abundance of sailboats and motor boats (waiting for us when we get in their way)...and the fun feel of sea salt and wind in your face. Just a great experience! I take out of towners for a ride every time. More

How great is this? A ferry ride that lasts about 3 minutes!!!! A peaceful ride across the Bay. It is a great deal and EVERY once in a while dolphins swim by! More

Taking the ferry across the bay is always fun for visitors to Newport Beach. Price is cheap and there are attractions on both sides of the bay. Can be a bit of a wait when busy if you take your car, but if you time it right you can get right on. More

Very quick and efficient service. Operators on all the ferrys (3) were very friendly. $1 per person, $2 for vehicle. More

it was a quick ferry ride from one side to the other...very affordable...we went on a very (extremely) windy day and this affected our ability to enjoy the ride but it was affordable and would do it again! More
