Stewart Island & Rakiura NP

Come to Stewart Island and Rakiura for that rugged, somewhat unsophisticated experience of NZ as it was 30 or 40 years ago.

85% of the island is protected as Rakiura National Park, NZ’s newest, established in 2002. Rakiura NP Visitor Centre is a must-visit in Oban, the island’s only real settlement of around 400 people.

There are marvellous walks, birds galore and a real feeling of getting away from it all on the island. Birds are in abundance as there are no stoats or ferrets here.

Getting here is fun, unless the weather is awful, in which case it can become a barfing, fearful experience on what feels like the high seas. Whether you enjoy a flight any better will also be dependent on the weather.
