crossing from North to South island
Is there a better time of day to cross to avoid a rough crossing? Morning, afternoon, or evening? Also, what's difference between the Interislander Ferry and the Lynx? <BR>Thanks in advance for your responses. Suzy

No - you can't choose your time of day - its luck of the weather on the day. I would recommend day time though, as the views on the Picton side through the Sounds are very nice. <BR>The main difference between the 2 ferries is speed. Lynx is the faster ferry, taking about half the time of the Interislander.

If it is very rough on the day you cross, they may shut the Lynx down which is what happened to us. They do not refund your money but mail it back to you. It was a very rough when we crossed but I still enjoyed it. The hardest thing was not spilling my beer. So, I wouldn't worry to greatly unless you are prone to sea sickness.
