What you can expect

Discover Stewart Island from the water with a leisurely cruise in the beautiful Paterson Inlet and a guided walk in the Ulva Island Wildlife Sanctuary. This journey shows you stunning scenery of hidden coves and unspoiled beaches as you hear fascinating stories of Maori history from your guide.

Step aboard the modern catamaran as you meet your guide, who is passionate about the area and offers a wealth of informative commentary. While on board, keep a look out for fur seals and penguins as you cruise past the landmarks around Stewart Island.

The voyage brings you to the renowned wildlife sanctuary of Ulva Island, where you stop for a guided walk. See the native weka, or woodhens, as well as bush robins, rare saddlebacks, yellowheads, and some of New Zealand's rarest plant species. For the remainder of the cruise, relax aboard the modern catamaran and enjoy the coastal scenery before you return to port.
