Why take the Ferry?

• Enjoy the natural beauty - Take an adventure on the amazing waterways of the Marlborough Sounds and the surrounding areas which have views that are not accessible by land.

• Travel in comfort and style -   Each vessel has modern technology, comfortable lounges, food areas & observatory decks to ensure a pleasant & most enjoyable journey.

• Save on domestic flights -  The cost of domestic flights as apposed to travelling on the ferry can be quite surprising.

• Unpack once and relax - There's no need to pack and unpack when you take the ferry and your vehicle with you. Passengers with vehicles do not have any luggage restrictions.

• Continue your journey - Have the opportunity to keep travelling in the direction you want to without needing transfers, queuing and checking-in at the airport.
