A day outing to Somes Island





You can't beat Wellington on a good day. Trick is getting Wellington on a good day- when you have a day off!

$62.50 for the ferry trip (family ticket) and $5/head if you want the guided tour.

A thoroughly enjoyable day (when you exclude tardy kids, flat car batteries, expired credit cards, last minute dirty nappies, exorbitant Wellington parking rates, children with eggcup sized bladders...

UPDATE:
Having been asked, the ferry trip takes 20 minutes. These is a sealed road up the hill to the quarantine station- an easy ten minute stroll with small children. There are plenty of tracks around the island OK for pushchairs and there are two toilets!
