Stewart Island is situated in the unique convergence zone of the Tasman Sea, Pacific Ocean and bordering the Southern Ocean.

Many of these species can not be found anywhere else, other than the very remote and restricted Subantarctic Islands, which are much harder to get to!

This tour presents a chance to spot penguins, albatross, mollymawks, petrels, cormorants, gulls, terns, skua, and wading birds. Our experienced skippers tailor the excursion based on your interests, the day's conditions, and weather. Explore various areas, including Ulva Island coastline, the Bravo Island group, the Neck, Whero rock, Bench Island, and other points of interest around Paterson Inlet/Stewart Island.
