Getting to the Wellington terminal
There are a number of ways to get to the Wellington Interislander terminal.
Shuttle Bus
Interislander provides a bus service between Platform 9 at the Wellington Railway Station and the Wellington terminal. The cost of the bus is $2 per person (children under 5 years of age are free). Tickets may be bought using cash or credit card (excludes Diners) from the ticketing station. The bus leaves 50 minutes prior to the departure of each sailing. The bus also runs from the ferry arrivals terminal back to the Railway Station. However, we regret that we are unable to provide this service for sailings arriving into Wellington after 9pm.
Bus from backpackers
In association with Base and YHA Backpackers, Interislander also offers a simple, direct and convenient backpacker bus service to the Wellington terminal, at the small cost of $3. Bus tickets must be pre-purchased from the Backpackers.
Taxis
Taxis provide a convenient option to get you directly to the departure terminal.
Walking
For those on foot, the terminal is 40 minutes' brisk walk along Aotea Quay. However, for your safety and comfort, we recommend one of the above options.
