CRUISING WITH INTERISLANDER

No holiday to New Zealand is complete without sailing with Interislander between the North and South Islands, through the magnificent Marlborough Sounds or catching your first glimpse of Wellington across the harbour. The Interislander has been sailing between Wellington and Picton for sixty years and we look forward to welcoming you onboard our three ships – the Kaitaki, Aratere and Kaiarahi. Each has cafes and bars offering local cuisine, wines, and beers. You can upgrade to our Interislander Plus Lounge for the most relaxing journey across the Cook Strait with complimentary food and drinks, and a guaranteed seat making it the most comfortable way to sail. For those that are self-driving, particularly with campervans or motorhomes, the Kaitaki and Aratere allow you to drive on and drive off – no turning required. Book your sailing today!
