Travel Tips

Before you sail

1

Only 1–2 daily sailings per operator -- lock in your preferred time as soon as dates are set.

2

Morning crossings are calmer and better for anyone prone to seasickness.

3

Combine with an early-start-from-Havelock day to still have an afternoon on Neil.

4

Short journey, but expect a 30-minute pre-boarding security check as usual.

5

The ride can be bumpier than longer routes because the boat spends more time on open water relative to travel time.
