TRAVELING ON THE INTERISLANDER - A VERY SPECIAL SAILING
One of the most spectacular ferry journeys in the world.
Interislander operates three large ferries across the Cook Strait
between Wellington and Picton - Kaitaki, Kaiarahi and Aratere. Carrying
both passengers and vehicle on up to 10 sailings per day, the 92km
(85mile) journey takes just over three hours.
Once you're on your Interislander cruise, you can take a stroll on the decks, enjoy a meal, a drink or even catch the latest movie releases. Or you could just choose to relax and take in the breathtaking view.

Interislander tickets are non-refundable if you miss your sailing. However, your ticket is fully flexible and may be changed or cancelled without fee (NOTE: Changes and Cancellations must be initiated by email or telephone during Wendekreisen office hours and at least 2 hours prior to sailing). If you have paid your ticket in full and wish to cancel your sailing, we will reimburse the full fare to your credit card.
