4.5/5
We thoroughly enjoyed our Interislander ferry experience.
The trip was smooth despite the weather being wet & windy. The staff were extremely professional, helpful & friendly. The biggest surprise was that we found a separate area on the boat called the Pelorus Jack Lounge where for an additional $50 you got beautiful big lounge chairs, sensational.scones, cheeses & wonderful happy service. We had a great time.

We had a few hiccups and had to keep changing our booking, Picton ground staff were amazing and supportive of our situation.
We booked lounge on the Ferry and that was outstanding with really friendly staff too! Great experience!!!

Not enough comfortable seating.
Over sold and uncomfortable. Over $400 for my partner and I to be extremely uncomfortable for 3 hours. I will be booking with Bluebridge from now on.

I had been quite seriously injured a few days before returning home from the S.I.
The crew of the Aratere looked after me very well. A special thank you to Yazzy for the complimentary scone and cream and chat. You made the crossing so much more

Beautiful way to travel between the two islands.
They can take your rental car too. Comfortable accommodations inside and gorgeous views outside on the deck.

Booking with inter island ferry today- for Monday Nov 20- we were quoted $530 for a refundable fare!
DOUBLE what friends (larger van and 2people)paid last Thursday. ($264)
So 2 ferries are out of commission and they are transferring the repair cost to their customers- this is ONE WAY
They do not offer any fixed prices and there are no promises whether they will sail for sure. They are taking total advantage of customers! Not impressed with this service. I’m kinda scared of what we’ll be charged to come back!

Plus lounge fiasco.
I normally get a private cabin and sleep on the trip, but this time the cabs were all booked, so I purchased a pass to the plus lounge.
For $80 I got to sit separately from other passengers in a lounge with crummy chairs, which were ok to sit on otherwise. The food was average at best. Very few options. No salads. The closest thing that came to vegetables was mushy beans and peas cooked from frozen. Disgusting.
Only cheap cookies offered for dessert. Cheap tasting coffee.
The bathrooms looked like they have not been cleaned in days. Make bathroom had only one working cubicle. The toilet paper was on the dirty floor as the toilet paper holder was broken. The toilet seat had a generous splash of urine and a dusting of pubic hair on the seat. And no, you don’t get paper towels in the lounge.
Don’t waste your money this is a complete rip off. Shame on you interislander.

Friendly staff on checkin and loading was quite a jovial affair!
Food is freshly cooked and okay/tasty. Great stabilisers so calm journey even though it was choppy. Great cruise through the Charlotte Sound. Commentary would have been useful.

The views were incredible and the Picton passage smooth.
The ability to keep tickets flexible was very helpful as was paying in instalments. The children's play space could be improved - just a TV and chalkboards and one bit of chalk.

Good service on the boat with a variety of goods to purchase.
Awesome front deck but would need a couple of extra seats.
