Review of Interislander Ferry, Wellingto...

I booked online and it was together with the Coastal Pacific rail service from Wellington to Picton (via ferry) and Picton to Christchurch (via train). It made for a long day, but checkin was seamless (they transfered baggage from the ferry to the train for me). The staff was very friendly and accommodating both on the ferry and the train. There are plenty of places to sit and depending on your situation (solo, with family, in the pub, etc.) they really try to cater to everyone. The ferry itself is a bit old (1995), but appears to be well maintained. They have a reception desk that assists travelers with booking accommodation, or various attractions in the region. This was very convenient. If you have the time, I would definitely recommend this!
