Interislander - Cook Strait Ferries

About

Find out why 36 million New Zealanders can’t be wrong.
Okay, so there’s a few tourists in there too. But that’s how many passengers we've carried since 1962.

Cruise from Wellington to Picton in the stunning Marlborough Sounds in just over three hours.

Viewing decks, premium lounges cafés and bars. Plenty to keep kids entertained too. Our three ships are not only the largest Cook Strait ferries in New Zealand; they are also purpose built for the crossing with unparalleled comfort and safety.
All vehicles are welcome, just drive on, drive off - we even have rental depots at our terminals for cars that don't cross.

We've been doing this for over 50yrs so we know how to make your perfect holiday, perfect from the very start.
