Wellington Picton Ferry

Considered one of the most beautiful ship passages in the world. the Cook Strait can sometimes be very busy. The ships are huge, up to 10 stories, 1,500 passengers and hundreds of vehicles, and it takes about 3 hours from Wellington, the first half hour within its protected bay, then 1 ½ open sea, and the last hour in the spectacular estuaries of the Marlborough region. My return from the South Island to the north after two months was a spectacular day and the color of Malborough Sound were amazing.

Nice smooth ride, although I hear it gets a bit rough at times
