Stewart Island Experience Village & Bay Tours

The Stewart Island Village and Bays Tour offers entertaining insight into New Zealand’s southernmost community. Learn about the history and environment of this beautiful, remote island.

Stewart Island is New Zealand’s ultimate eco-tourism destination. Its densely forested hills and untouched coastline of rocky outcrops and 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.

Unspoiled, incredibly beautiful, and steeped in stories, Stewart Island (known as Rakiura – glowing skies – by Maori) is well worth this informative introduction. The local guides enjoy sharing their knowledge of the area on this mini-bus tour of the Island. You will have plenty of time to get off the bus for photo stops and short walks.

Highlights include a visit to the gateway to Rakiura National Park at Lee Bay, beautiful Horseshoe Bay and Observation Rock with its stunning views of Paterson Inlet.
