I booked a non refundable Interislander ferry trip in New Zealand in November and had all my plans set when I was notified by Interislander that my trip was rescheduled due to the retirement of one of their ships. This schedule change altered the terms of the service I agreed to. Had this been the original departure time, I would not have made this booking, as it does not fit with my travel plans and obligations. Instead of promptly resolving the issue and giving me a refund which I requested, Interislander refused. It is not fair or just that they keep my money since the change was initiated by Interislander, not by me, and now my fare is useless to me. Very disappointed.

Another outstanding trip on the Aratere. Sunset, dolphins, lounging in the warmth, peace and sunshine. Our daughter had a very minor accident and the staff were excellent at helping out with first aid. All staff were friendly and kind.

The food served is appalling. We ordered the big breakfast which contained powdered eggs. There was no disclaimer of this anywhere on the menu which in itself, is misleading. We couldn’t identify an item on the plate, which turned out to be sloppy mushrooms which looked like rotting chopped mint. The sausages were about the size of your thumb and this all sat in a pool of some off coloured watered down gravy. They charge $26 for this meal. We got our money back after having gone through 4 different ranks of people. Unbelievable food and the service was no better.
