Overview of your experience

Breathe fresh sea air, listen to rare bird calls and enjoy the solitude of Rakiura, Stewart Island, New Zealand’s southernmost frontier.

Travel by light plane to Stewart Island then hike and water taxi your way across the windswept beaches, sheltered inlets and original forests of this wilderness island. This all-inclusive guided trip offers the best chance most people will have to see New Zealand's national bird, the kiwi, in its natural environment.

This experience also includes a visit to the open-air bird sanctuary on Ulva Island and time to explore the settlement of Oban and Halfmoon Bay before flying back to the mainland.

Join this trip and discover the remote beauty of Rakiura, 'Land of the Glowing Skies', renowned for its lingering summer sunsets and the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis.
