Lying across the Foveaux Strait, it is the third largest island of New Zealand. Known as Rakiura in the Maori language it literally means ‘Land of Glowing Skies’. A place where brown kiwis or Tokoeka outnumber the humans, it is no wonder that tourists visit here mainly for hiking and birdwatching. Being a largely undiscovered eco-tourism destination, Stewart Island is unspoilt and relaxing. Its landscapes comprising bays, sandy beaches and densely forested hills, makes the place incredibly beautiful. Get an insight into the simple lifestyle of the 400-odd Stewart Islanders in tune with the sea and the tides.
Discover the island’s unique culture and natural heritage with the interactive guided walks or choose to explore the island at your own pace and time by motor scooter or car. Enjoy the piece of beauty and solitude through the 6-day Discovery Expeditions. Also, learn about the conservation efforts made to preserve this natural refuge of marine and bird life. On the whole, a must-visit destination for nature and wildlife lovers.
