The Likoni Ferry is a ferry service across Kilindini Harbour, serving the Kenyan city of Mombasa between Mombasa Island and the mainland suburb of Likoni. Double-ended ferries alternate across the harbour, carrying both road and foot traffic. The ferries are operated by the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS), and is the only remaining ferry service by KFS. The Likoni Ferry began operating in 1937.[1] Passenger services are free; vehicles (including tuktuks, motorcycles, and trucks) pay a toll.

The crossing is approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft).
