Navigating islands of New Zealand?

Question

how do Kiwis get from North Island to South Island? is there a bridge? boats? plane?

Answer 1

You can fly down or ferry across

Answer 2

The interisland car ferry goes from Picton to Wellington, which is about 20 miles and takes about 3 hours.  But Picton is at the head of a long sound.  The shortest distance between the islands is about 6 miles.  It's been swum several times.

Answer 3

Definitely no bridge.

Most people would either fly or use a ferry. The ferry takes about 3 hours and goes between Wellington and Picton. If you wanted to fly you could head to quite a few different locations (Picton, Blenheim, Nelson or further out on Air NZ’s route you could fly to Blenheim, Nelson, Christchurch, Timaru,  Queenstown, Dunedin, Invercargill, Westport, Greymouth etc.

Some people also sail there on a private boat.

Answer 4

No bridge. If you want speed, go by plane but if you want to see one of the most beautifull & photographic parts of New Zealand , take the ferry!

Answer 5

haha love it! Yes we have planes here, and you can get there by a ferry!
