The Stewart Island Fly Explore Fly tour departs in the early morning from Queenstown for a 1 hour 15 minute flight to Stewart Island.

Stewart Island is located just 30 kilometres across the Foveaux Strait, past several smaller islands including Ruapuki Island and Dog Island.

Glenorchy Air can arrange your day with options to join a guided tour of Paterson Inlet with Rakiura Charters & Water Taxis, or hop on a water taxi to secluded beaches and walking tracks at the predator-free Ulva Island. If you’d rather stay on land, Glenorchy Air has partnered with the Aurora Cab Company for the option of a personal tour of Stewart Island by road. Of course, if you wish to spend the day exploring Stewart Island’s coastal walking tracks and town of Oban at your own pace, you have the full day to do so before meeting Glenorchy Air for your return flight.
