Description
Escape to Stewart Island on a 3 day Rakiura Ultimate Getaway and experience the untouched natural beauty of New Zealand. Stewart Island is located 30 kilometres south of New Zealand’s South Island, just a short ferry ride across the Foveaux Strait. With over 85% of the island made up of Rakiura National Park, Stewart Island is well known for its astounding beauty, walking tracks and abundance of native wildlife. Spend 3 days soaking in island life on the Rakiura Ultimate Getaway with RealNZ, which includes your return ferry, accommodation and guided tours.
The Stewart Island ferry departs from Bluff, just a 20 minute drive from Invercargill or 3 hours south of Queenstown. The Foveaux Strait crossing takes approximately 1 hour and lands in Oban, the main town in Stewart Island. Check in for your 2 nights’ accommodation at the secluded Stewart Island Lodge and settle in for the next 3 days of adventure.
Stewart Island Lodge is nestled in Halfmoon Bay, just a short walk from remote beaches, walking tracks and the Oban township. Throughout your 3 day Rakiura Ultimate Getaway, immerse yourself in Stewart Island scenery on guided tours with RealNZ. Discover the history of the island on the Village & Bays Tour, where your guide transports you to points of interest such as Horseshoe Bay, Paterson Inlet and the entrance to Rakiura National Park onboard a comfortable minibus. You can also join the Ulva Island Explorer cruise for incredible views of hidden coves, local wildlife and a 45 minute guided walk on the predator-free Ulva Island.
