We drove to Picton to take the Interislander ferry to Wellington. Crossing from one island to another is very expensive so most people drop their rental car off and pick up another when traveling from one island to the next. It is much cheaper and it is quick and easy. Picton is a picturesque port with some art deco buildings and a beautiful harbor.
We boarded the Kaitati, which is the largest ferry in New Zealand waters. The ship is huge an it holds many automobiles and up to 1600 passengers. The ship has game stations, movies, a food court, an eating area with tables, lounges, reclining seats, a premium lounge, a lounge for commercial drivers, etc. The trip takes 3 hours along the beautiful bays and emerald waters between the two islands. This is most definitely the most beautiful ferry ride we have taken and the largest ferry we have every traveled on.
