are the ferries operating on Christmas day and if so could you send the link for the timetable.
Hi Vicki,
If you check again the Bay Islands Ferry Timetable page, you will see the Xmas timetable at the bottom of the page.

hi, I am planning to stay on Russell Isl for a few days, so I'm wondering if a return ticket means it has to be used in one day, or if the return journey can be taken on another day
thankyou
If you are coming by passenger ferry, you buy a single ticket when you travel each way. The ticket can be bought at ticket office on the mainland or on the ferry.
if you bring your car and come by vehicle barge you can buy a return ticket and either nominate the day and time for both ways or leave the return open and confirm date and time later.
