TRAVEL - The Interislander
Interislander’s Cook Strait Ferries travel between Wellington and Picton New Zealand. The 92km voyage takes 3 hours and has been described as "one of the most beautiful ferry rides in the world".
Interislander operates three ships; Kaitaki, Arahura and Aratere, for you and your vehicle. With up to 11 sailings a day you’ll always have a wide choice of travel times.
Apart from the fantastic views, Interislander gives you plenty to see and do on board and the friendly staff are committed to making your journey enjoyable.
With a range of cafes and bars on board, you can enjoy some of New Zealand’s renowned wines and beers, have an award winning coffee and light snack or hearty meal.
Kaitaki Plus, Interislander’s premium lounge on board Kaitaki is without question the most luxurious way to cross Cook Strait. A Kaitaki Plus Lounge ticket allows passengers over18 years of age to access a private lounge which includes comfortable seating, free internet access, Sky TV, newspapers, magazines, complimentary beer, wine, tea, coffee and finger food.
Taking a vehicle with Interislander is as easy as parking in a car park building – just drive on and drive off. As well as the travel convenience of taking a vehicle between the two islands, passengers with vehicles do not have any luggage restrictions.
Combining spectacular scenery and great service, it’s easy to see why Interislander has been described “as one of the most beautiful ferry rides in the world” by Wine Spectator Magazine, USA.
