The Cook Strait is a major transportation route connecting New Zealand's South Island and North Island. You must use ferry for self-driving across the island. Most of the ferry routes follow the coast and the island. Therefore, the scenery on both sides of the Straits is still very beautiful. The ferry takes3.5 hours, which is still very worth experiencing.
This is my first time taking the ferry, some fresh and unknown, these days have been tangled in how to from the hotel to the pier, we walked to the pier once to consult, 50 minutes to the pier, and later wanted to walk to drag luggage too hard. I wanted to take the bus again, but I had to go to the train station to change. It was still troublesome to drag my luggage. I finally decided to let the hotel book a taxi for me the first night and pick us up at 7 am on time. There was no fixed seat on the ferry, so I took a photo on the deck first, and then when I came down to find a seat, there was no place to sit, but I found it later. There is a buffet on the boat, not free. You can see the staff at any time, you can consult, and there seems to be a Chinese-speaking staff, in short, a very good experience.
There are two ferry companies going back and forth to Wellington on the North Island and Picton on the South Island. The two companies have different pier locations in Wellington and are a little distance away, so be careful not to go to the wrong pier. This pier belongs to Interislander Company, and intercitybus is the same company. There is a shuttle bus back and forth from the train station.
