Goat Island

What travelers say:

I don’t know how to begin describing how incredible our New Year’s Eve 2014 at Goat Island was! We did our homework at the beginning, so we made an appointment very early in August. We took the ferry (the earliest class) at 6.30am. Glad we did it because it gave us an unparalleled view. You can see the fireworks completely and without restriction and the atmosphere was great at the time. The facilities there (including toilets etc) were also complete. We brought some picnic food, some wine and even a blanket to lie on! There were lots of other couples there, friends who came out to play together and other families on the island. It was the best New Year’s Eve I’ve ever had and it was well worth the money I spent. It also means we don't have to sit with other teams of people all day waiting at a free attraction around the city.
