Great ride over to Stewart Island, plenty of bouncy waves to make it exciting, but not too rough. Very smooth oily calm coming back, nearly went to sleep.😀

Stunning day, excellent crossing, tour was fantastic with a very humourous guide,
she was also extremely informative and knowledgeable on the island history etc.

The trip over was fast & easy. Coming back, we were on hold due to gale-force winds; however, in the last hour, the trip went ahead. The skipper warned us it would be a little rough & bumpy (understatement at times). He managed the big waves & tide expertly, making the trip as smooth as he could. For someone who suffers from motion sickness, I had no problems (with a little help from Travacalm!). It was even a little exciting watching the waves wash over us!

Great staff on a pretty rough crossing, the skipper kept us informed as we waitied for a large ship to pass. Had a great crossing to and from the island.

During the ferry trip from Bluff to Stewart Island the sea was really calm, so we had a very pleasant trip, seeing how the island approached and looking forward to a nice stay there. The sea was mich wilder during the trip back, but the captain stayed so calm, that I had complete confidence in him. A very beautiful sight were the birds around the boat: White cap albatross and many kinds of seagulls, a pleasure for any birdwatcher and nature lover

Good driver! It was windy and he could manage very well. I got sea sick and the team helped me very well. On the way back to Bluff, no problem.
