Most Popular“This was a very simple, friendly experience. It was well-organized. The ferry was clean, confortable and well maintained. Plenty of snack offerings and activities for kids. The time passed very quickly.”
InterIslander ferry from Picton to Wellington. A scenic 3.5-hour Cook Strait crossing with decks, baggage allowance, and easy North Island access.
“No issues with the ferry journey. I would, however, caution that this is not a sightseeing ferry but rather a very practical transport option between the islands. If traveling from Picton to Wellington you will only have nice sights of the South Island for about 45 minutes before you’re in the open water.”
Every harbour shuttle, island run and sea crossing we have aboard.
