After changing our tickets from missing the ferry on Saturday we finally headed over to Somes Island – Also known as Matiu Island.
Tickets cost $22 return and the ferry departs every couple of hours, we left on the 10am ferry and returned on the 12.50pm ferry which was just enough time to wander around the island, with the BF making numerous stops to get panoramics such as the one above.
The Island is beautiful and very rugged, when you wern’t looking towards Wellington it was hard to believe we were only a 20minute ferry ride from our capital city!
Everyone in Wellington, or close to Wellington should make an effort to get out there, it’s really gorgeous and a nice way to spend a few hours. The walk around the Island is nice and easy, a couple of hills but nothing too strenuous.
Have you been to Somes Island before? Would you consider going?
