On the odd occasion when we want to visit Russell we have to get on the Opua Car Ferry to take us there. There are 2 ferries which go back and forth as it is usually very busy.
The prices are $1 for someone walking on, $5.90 for motorbikes, $13.50 for cars/utes, $21 for a 6-8 ft vehicle, $31.50 for a 8-10m vehicle, $60 for a 10m plus vehicle, 2 berth campervan is $13.50, 4 berth motorhome $31.50
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

What a great service. The prices cover everyone and their mode of transportation.
There are stretches up river from my city where ferries are the way across instead of a bridge.
...we don't have ferries here, but when I've visited Oregon, they have a number of them that cross rivers!
Nice pictures. There's a car ferry not far from me. The ride is short but enjoyable. It costs slightly more for pedestrians than your ferry but cars and motorcycles are much less expensive.
I loved taking my little car on the ferry across to Russell and was surprised at how quickly the trip was made. It was fun! :)
Saves time and fuel I presume.
If you're walking on it's a bargain! A bit expensive for a car.Do you come back via ferry too? How long is the trip. Our little carry ferry is 1 euro for pedestrians and 6 for a small car but the trip is only a little over 5 minutes.
It's a lovely ride, like yours must be. Lovely on a sunny day to stand up above the cars and watch the scenery pass by
That's a small ferry but it seems like it suits the purposes.
Makes me think of when I was in Italy on Lake Como. We took the ferry several times a day but only on foot.
$1 for walking on is a great deal. I rarely ever get to see a ferry. I remember riding on one in our car back when I was a child. Nice post!
More memories.
There is a ferry like that on Strangford Lough although a little larger than that one.
