Our Interislander Ferry between Wellington and Picton New Zealand was fantastic. Check-in and luggage drop off was very easy and convenient. We upgraded to the Premium Lounge which is well worth the extra money. This is an 18 year and older only lounge. Super comfortable seating with delicious food served for our morning crossing to Picton, and our evening crossing back to Wellington. The bar staff was great with a nice selection of New Zealand wine and beer. Restrooms were clean and well supplied, and the ferry staff was very helpful. Our ferry ride added an extra adventure to our trip.

Great trip, great facilities and plenty of seating. Easy to get our car loaded on board. The scenery is picture perfect. We would love to do it again when we come back to NZ.
