Coach travel from Wellington around the North Island
Hello
Has anyone tried this?
Its so cheap Im thinking of trying it, but want opinions if its a viable option with my 2 and half year old. (seasoned traveller on planes!)
My main concerns are safety.
Having done a few coach journeys in my day where I spent several hours being entertained? by pissed bogans, just a little worried when travelling with the little man.
Price wise - its $30 for three of us v $280 flying v $199 car hire (one way fees are a killer!)
Anyone?

I've used the Napier to Wellington service on a number of occasions and found it to be a safe way to travel.
Coach is usually less than half full.
Can't see you having any problems.
