Real Journeys - Stewart Island Experience
With densely forested hills descending to a coastline of rocky outcrops and creamy golden sand beaches, Stewart Island is perfect for a day excursion or a longer stay.
Cruise between Bluff and Stewart Island on board the modern catamarans. Stewart Island Ferry Services depart daily, with coach transfers from Invercargill. On arrival, enjoy a leisurely cruise of beautiful Paterson Inlet and explore the island on the Village and Bays Tours. View the underwater world from the semi-submersible on the Underwater Explorer Cruises.
Alternatively explore independently with rental cars, mountain bikes and scooters.
Stewart Island offers a special experience – a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle, in rhythm with the sea and the tides, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach.
In 2002 the very qualities that make this a great place to treasure were recognised in the formation of the Rakiura National Park, comprising 85% of the Island.
The people who live here permanently value the Island’s special qualities – its clear, clean waters, the lush rainforest, sweeping sands, flora and fauna and the unspoilt natural beauty that are constant in their lives.
Whether you have come to enjoy the land and seascapes, view the wildlife, walk, boat, fish, dive, kayak, hunt or just relax, a Stewart Island holiday will be an experience that will draw you back here again and again.
