You can use your Snapper on East By West Ferries in Wellington to pay for your journey across the harbour. It works just the same as using your Snapper on the bus – you tag on as you get onto the boat, and tag off at the end of your trip. Snapper works out the right fare, every time.
You can also use your Snapper to buy food and drinks on board the boat. It works just the same as at any Snapper retailer.
Note: Don't wave or "swipe" your Snapper. The reader needs time to be able to "talk" to your Snapper in order to work. Hold your Snapper to the reader and keep it still until you see the green circle. The tagging on process takes less than a second, so you won't be there long! For more information see Snapper technology.
