The Interislander Ferry

About 58 miles separate the South Island from the North Island of New Zealand at the ferry crossing. We took an Interislander Ferry from south to north. Aboard, there are two restaurants, two movie theaters, a bar, shopping, and a large playground for children. It can carry 525 cars, 108 trailers, and over 500 passengers.

The trip took three and a half hours. The views were breathtaking. Then we were treated to a school of at least a hundred dolphins which seemed to accompany the ship. What follows is a sampling of the large number of photos I took.
