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!

Ferry excellent but rough crossing (unavoidable). Booking my bike was very difficult.couldnt get any contact or replies for over a week whereas booking passengers easy.when got to the ferry return journey they advised us they were unaware of the booking.so whoever organized it didn't forward information on.there needs to be a tick box for extra cargo at time of passenger bookings .

It was a ready great experience. And we saw Kiwis. The crew was lovely, they talk good care of us and showed us alot. However, we were half the size of a maximum capacity group. And even then I sometimes felt like the group is to big and loud for a walk in the bush. Well I guess we saw Kiwis so I might need wrong, but be prepared.

Captain ggave great instructions on how not to get seasick on our soon to be very rough crossing. Attendents were very caring to those who were. I always take Gravol (anti-emetic) when using marine transport and thus enjoyed a roaring forties experience.

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

We had a great experience with Stewart Island Ferry. The terminal was easy to find, the staff was ready to help and very courteous. The captain(s) steered the ferry to make the voyage as smooth as possible (which was great since I tend to get sea sick). Good safety briefing. Efficient loading/unloading of baggage. Well done!
