In a normal year under normal circumstances, there is one major ferry connection active in New Zealand and about 9 smaller ones.
The major connection in New Zealand
The ferry from Wellington to Picton (or the other way around) connects the South Island with the North Island. The connection in New Zealand is called ‘Connecting the Cook Strait' and only takes 3.5 hours. The best tip we've got on this crossing: Be sure to compare the prices.

Did you know?
Over 850.000 passengers and over 250.000 vehicles sail from Wellington to Picton every year. There are plans to renew the ships and even business cases to create a railway ferry. Let's hope the ships get renewed on this connection as the ships are getting old.
