TG Ferry Service operates scenic ferry cruises and private charters across the Myall River, Port Stephens and surrounding waterways. Based on scheduled departures from Tea Gardens and Nelson Bay, the company runs a range of experiences including afternoon Arvos cruises, sunrise First Light & Flat White runs, sunset cruises, a two-hour History Cruise guided by local legend John “Stinker” Clarke, High Tea on the Myall River, and special event sailings such as New Year’s Eve.
The fleet includes the MV Wallamba, available for private charter for groups up to 25 guests; charters can be self-catered or arranged with catering options.
