Once you arrive, your local guide will lead you on a walk through native forests, rugged beaches and trails that showcase this historically significant area of Stewart Island.
During the Stewart Island wilderness walk, you’ll have the chance to spot native wildlife and hear engaging stories about the island’s Maori heritage and early European settlers. Your guide will share insights about local conservation efforts and how this unique environment is being preserved for future generations.
