Bluebridge Ferry Terminal
About
In North Island, Bluebridge Ferry Terminal sits at 50 Waterloo Quay in Pipitea, Wellington 6011, New Zealand, handling sailings across the water. The terminal serves passengers and vehicles on the interisland route, with the waterfront location keeping it within easy reach of the city centre. Wellington, Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all appear among the places linked by the surrounding transport network.
Bluebridge Ferry Terminal is known for its scheduled crossings and for carrying both foot passengers and vehicles. A 3.5 out of 5 average from 231 reviews places it in solid territory, though opinions vary on the overall crossing. The terminal's website at http://www.bluebridge.co.nz/ provides sailing information and booking details. First-time visitors should allow extra time before departure, as vehicle check-in and boarding follow fixed cut-off points.
Opening hours at the terminal run according to the sailing timetable rather than a fixed daily schedule. Because New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, almost nowhere in the country sits far from the sea, and the Wellington waterfront is no exception. Passengers arriving by car will find the quay accessible from the central city.
For anyone travelling onward, the terminal is the starting point for the journey. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. New Zealand cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish. The weather in Wellington can change quickly, so a layer or two is worth packing for the crossing.
