Governors Island Ferry - Soissons Dock Terminal

This is where you catch the ferry back to Manhattan or just hang out and enjoy the view .

Went to Governors Island for the Holi hai festival . I had a blast. I will have ever revisit it to take in some history.

The Dutch landed here in the 17th century to establish a trading post. 400 years later, NYC is still considered by many as the financial capital of the world. To learn more visit the MoAF at 48 Wall Read more

This is where you catch the ferry to the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Manhattan.

Easily the most annoying ferry in NYC on the weekends at least. 5 min trip can take 60-90 minutes some days. Did it twice, & will never do it again. Easier to pay $4 to NY Waterway for the 3 min ride.

Come with a bike ; bike lines much shorter

Don't know what all these complaints are about. I walked right on with no wait and it's free!

The Brooklyn-to-Governor's Island ferry is a longer & more entertaining ride, with a much shorter line and goes every 20 minutes

Beware when camps visit. Got here to find the longest line of Tweens I've ever seen.

Passengers with bicycles get to skip the line

Longest wait for a boat that only take 5-7 minutes to get across. :(

Wait in line 90 minutes for a 5 minute boat ride .
