Transfers

The Pelorus Mail Boat doesn’t just deliver mail – we deliver passengers and their gear too.

Whether you are heading out to a lodge, holiday home, track or sea kayaking location in Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere, the Pelorus Mail Boat can take you there and pick you up when you’re done.

If you’re headed out on an adventure, we can also transport your gear – such as bikes and kayaks – to your destination, including the Nydia Track.
