About
About Wellington
On New Zealand's North Island, Wellington provides ferry services across the Cook Strait. Two operators, Bluebridge and Interislander, run the single route to Picton on the South Island. Both vehicle and foot passenger services are available on this domestic connection.
The crossing to Picton takes approximately three hours and thirty minutes. Departures are scheduled throughout the day, from early morning sailings to late-night crossings. This frequency allows for travel planning that connects with road journeys at either end.
