Stewart Island is New Zealand's ultimate eco-tourism destination. Its densely forested hills, and untouched coastline of rocky outcrops and creamy golden sand beaches make it a haven for native marine and bird life. Vivid dawn and twilight hues give rise to the island's Maori name, Rakiura - land of the glowing skies.
Cruise between Bluff and Stewart Island in comfort and style on board our modern catamarans. Regular ferry services depart daily with coach transfers from Invercargill, Te Anau and Queenstown. Vehicle storage is available at the Bluff Visitor Terminal.
On arrival, enjoy a leisurely cruise of beautiful Paterson Inlet and explore the island on our Village and Bays Tours. View the underwater world from a semi-submersible vessel on our Underwater Explorer Cruises or enjoy the long southern twilight on an Evening Guided Walk. Alternatively explore independently with our rental cars, mountain bikes and scooters.
