We really like taking this Ferry! We ride it just for fun! It’s expensive and you can get out of your vehicle during the ride. You can also walk or have bicycle on the ferry. It’s a family tradition for us to come when we get a new car. We enjoyed the ride

Cool place. Family friendly and lots to do. Arcade is a little overpriced for my taste.

Balboa island ferry is a fun ride for all the family members, kids or grownups enjoy it, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the ride only takes about couple of minutes but it is very enjoyable, it costs around a dollar and a half to go one way, maybe more for a car, it can take up to 3 cars and about 10 to 15 passengers, it is always available and the view is outstanding when you are in the middle of the water with all the boats around you, highly recommended to go to the other side of the island with the ferry, worth the wait

Fantastic and quaint. Be mindful that this is cash only and the signs do say it, albeit pretty small. This ferry provides a nice scenic trip across the water both ways for vehicles and pedestrians. We have taken it multiple times now since discovering it.

Do motorcycles and scooters have to wait in line?

Scooters and Motorcycles may pull up to the crosswalk area and board the ferry ahead of the cars. But they will be asked to pull to the side next to the smoke stack so that three cars may still board. The Deckhand will instruct you. If you choose to not pull to the side you will have to stay in the regular line with the cars and then board our Ferry. I hope this answers your question.
