If you spend longer than a few days in New Zealand you are bound to want to travel between islands.  If this is the case you are more than likely going to require a ticket for the Interisland Line, the main company offering ferry services between Wellington in the North Island, and Picton in the South Island. The Interisland Line is not only a means of transport between the islands but also offers a scenic cruise taking in Wellington Harbour, Cook Strait and the beautiful Marlborough Sounds.  The journey between the two islands can be taken aboard the Interislander ferries, this is a journey of 3 hours.  All ferries carry passengers and vehicles.  If you are hiring a rental car you may find the company will allow you to leave one car in one island and collect a second car on the other side.  This saves a considerable amount on cost as the vehicle fare can be expensive.

Fares on the Bluebridge  Line vary depending on availbility. If you book far enough in advance, it is possible to get fares up to 50% cheaper than standard fare prices. Fares vary from $39.00 to $55.00 per person, and $89.00 to $160.00 for a vehicle (car).  Please click here to enqire about fares or to book.  Simply state the date and direction you wish to cross and we can do the rest, ensuring you get the best fare available.
