Guided Walk - Stewart Island Experience Stewart Island
The amazing Stewart Island is an unforgettable island sanctuary with diverse and beautiful sights and sounds. On the Stuart Island Experience, the small-group guided walks to Little River will allow you to experience the tranquillity of this amazing Island while also contributing to the Stewart Island Rakiura Community and Environment Trust (for each person completing the walk, five NZ dollars will be contributed to the Trust).
During your informative walk, you will learn about Stewart Island's historic sawmilling industry and the modern-day paua and oyster industries en route to Lee Bay. Your friendly guide will then lead you through amazingly tall native forests and along stunning coastline to Little River. You will learn about the native flora and fauna, and how the local residents are preserving the abundant bird population. You will also learn of the unique cultural and natural heritage of Stewart Island.
As an alternative option, you may include a trip to Ackers Point lighthouse and a visit to Ackers Cottage – New Zealand’s oldest building. From here, you will have an excellent vantage point for viewing titi (muttonbirds or sooty shearwaters) returning to their nesting sites along the shore, or little blue penguins going about their day. The views are magnificent across to the mainland and include Paterson Inlet and Ulva Island.
Ferries depart to Stewart Island daily from Bluff.

Hi Siobhan. Yes the cost for the Stewart Island Experience guided walk is $50 per person. Please note that if you are not already on the island you will also need to book and pay for the Stewart Island Ferry.
