Garden Island ferry wharf is located on the southern side of Sydney Harbour. It serves the Royal Australian Navy's Heritage Centre, Garden Island. The wharf is no longer serviced by public or private ferries and is not open to the public. Fences prevent access from the wharf to the Garden Island Defence Precinct.
Around 2014 the security arrangements at Garden Island Defence Precinct changed whereby the previously fenced northern section of the facility was now open to all Defence users but would no longer allow the public to access the wharf of Navy Heritage Centre, which now requires special access passes and escorts to visit.
The Captain Cook Cruises Hop On/Hop Off Sydney Harbour ferry service previously operated via Garden Island wharf.[3]
