French Island National Park is a true paradise. Accessible only by a 30 minute passenger ferry ride, French Island is a haven of peace and serenity, home to a diverse range of wildlife and containing environments ranging from mangrove saltmarsh areas to open woodlands.
Explore the park at leisure by bus, bike or on foot, using the network of public roads and management tracks. There are whole day, half day and shorter walks and rides starting at Tankerton Foreshore Reserve.
How to get there
Take the passenger ferry from Stony Point across to French Island. For bookings ring the 24-hour Information line on (03) 9585 5730. The trip takes 10-12 minutes and delivers you to Tankerton Jetty on French Island. The Ranger station is next to the pier (Melway ref: 612 P9).
Check ferry timetables and weather conditions - ferry services can be cancelled at very short notice.
Aboriginal Traditional Owners
Parks Victoria acknowledges the Aboriginal Traditional Owners of Victoria - including its parks and reserves. Through their cultural traditions, the Boon Wurrung and Bunurong identify the French Island National Park as their Traditional Country.
