We had a lovely experience, very great ferry ride! The views are gorgeous, you can sit in a seat or stand out the back and watch the ocean. Dropping off and collecting luggage is also incredibly efficient!

The boat ride was very smooth and the captain was very good at navigating through the rougher parts of the strait. Complementary coffee and tea were good however only black tea no uncafinated options. Would definitely use the ferry again in the future and would definitely recommend for others.

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. If only coming over for the day this tour is a must. Highly reccomend

The crew were fabulous. We saw a variety of wildlife along the way. Penguins, seals, sea lions and many birds. The walk for the kiwis was great - but no kiwis to be seen. We did hear them and see some footprints on the beach. The owls were lovely to see and hear them singing to each other. Thank you to the crew for their hard work.

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!
