You can still make out the watertaxi that dropped me off at the jetty in Waterfall Bay. I’d taken the ferry from Wellington to Picton (Bluebridge) and from there a watertaxi to Waterfall Bay (Cougar Line). I was headed for my favourite hostel ever: Hopewell. In Waterfall Bay, Mike from Hopewell picked me up with a car, drove to the other side, from where we took his little boat across to Hopewell. I think it’s great that they run their own watertaxi for visitors to Hopewell and for a lower price than other watertaxi companies too. It makes it a lot easier to get to this amazing place if you don’t have your own (rental) car or don’t want to drive all the way over a gravel road. And no, this really isn’t a bad place to wait for a pick up! 🙂
