Join East by West Ferries on the Southern Hemisphere’s first and only fully-electric passenger ferry; Ika Rere – for a zero emissions tour of Wellington Harbour,
ka Rere was introduced into service in 2022 and remains the only electric ferry in the Southern Hemisphere.
One of the benefits of the electric ferry is that you do not need to compete with engine noise, meaning we’re able to travel at a leisurely pace and you can hear our commentary easily throughout the whole journey.
Learn about the history of Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington as the capital city, our local maritime history and natural environment as you enjoy a 90 minute cruise around the harbour.
The tour takes in different parts of the harbour depending on conditions on the day. East by West Ferries are the busiest operator on Wellington Harbour at over 9,000 crossings per year, so their team knows where to go to take in all the best sights, regardless of conditions!
