🇳🇿 "The Wind on Wellington-Picton Ferry Almost Blew Me Away!

But hey... I can finally drive to the South Island! 🥳 ⛴️ Must-Know Ferry Info To road-trip from North Island → South Island, you MUST take a ferry! Two companies operate this route: 1️⃣ Interislander 2️⃣ Bluebridge ⏰ Ferry Schedule: Interislander: 8:45 AM, 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 8:30 PM Bluebridge: 2:00 AM, 8:15 AM, 1:30 PM, 8:30 PM ⏳ Duration: ~4 hours 💰 Why I Chose Bluebridge Cheaper than Interislander (saved 10% with a promo code—DM me for it! 😉). No fancy observation deck, but tbh... the views aren’t mind-blowing anyway. Total cost: $341.57 NZD (2 pax + SUV). 🚢 Boarding Process 1️⃣ Check-in: Go to Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry Terminal (Wellington), exchange your booking code for tickets, then queue up. Staff will guide you to your lane. 2️⃣ Boarding: Drive onto the ferry as directed. Park, then head upstairs to the passenger deck (they serve decent burgers! 🍔). 3️⃣ Disembarking: Remember where you parked! Follow staff instructions to drive off smoothly. 💡 Pro Tip: For Picton → Wellington, no need to exchange tickets—just drive straight to the check-in booth! #TravelGuide #NZRoadTrip #FerryAdventure #Wellington #Picton #BudgetTravel
