The Arahura
Arahura is a Maori word meaning "pathway to dawn". The Arahura River on
the South Island's West Coast is the country's main source of New Zealand
jade (also known as New Zealand greenstone or pounamu). So precious was
greenstone to Maori that they called the South Island "Te Wai Pounamu" - the
place of the greenstone.
With a bar and food court, Arahura offers extensive food and beverage
facilities designed to suit all tastes.
The onboard facilities are equally comprehensive. Outside observation decks,
lounges, and a cinema, will make your journey across the Cook Strait a
memorable part of your holiday.

The Kaitaki
Kaitaki is a Māori word meaning "challenger". With the capacity to carry
up to 1600 passengers, it is both the largest ship in Interislander's fleet
and the largest ferry operating in New Zealand waters. Kaitaki offers a
unique tourism and travel experience.
Kaitaki provides an array of options designed to enhance your journey across
the Cook Strait. From the many observation decks, enjoy the magical scenery
of the Marlborough Sounds and Wellington's natural harbour. Or, sample local
cuisine, coffee and wines, from the many food and beverage outlets.
For children, Kaitaki offers nurseries, play areas and, during school
holidays and peak seasons, even magicians and clowns.
