Explore Stewart Island on a guided mini?bus tour with local experts. Visit Lee Bay and Observation Rock, enjoy short walks and photo stops, and learn about the island’s unique history, nature, and community. A perfect introduction to Rakiura’s beauty and charm.
Discover the captivating charm of New Zealand’s southernmost community with an engaging guided tour of Stewart Island/Rakiura. Unspoiled, naturally beautiful, and rich in stories, the island is the perfect place to slow down and connect with a more peaceful corner of Aotearoa. Join our friendly local guides aboard a comfortable mini-bus as they share their deep knowledge of the island’s heritage, wildlife, and everyday life. With plenty of opportunities to step off the bus, take short walks, and pause for photos, you’ll experience the island’s landscapes up close while learning what makes this community so unique.
Tour highlights include a visit to Lee Bay, the starting point of Rakiura National Park, where you’ll take in the rugged coastline and the iconic chain-link sculpture symbolising the connection between the North, South, and Stewart Islands. You’ll also visit Observation Rock, offering spectacular views across Paterson Inlet and the surrounding forest – a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're here for the wildlife, the scenery, or the stories, this tour provides an insightful and relaxed introduction to the heart of Stewart Island.
