Stewart Island Road Tours

Meet the Locals

 

 

 





Your photos are important to us. We'll stop where ever you ask. And we stop for several short walks including the Rakiura National Park entrance.



Our commentary celebrates Island life, from earliest Maori to the sealers, whalers saw-millers and fishermen up to the present and what it's like to live here now and to bring up a family. We have photo albums aboard with a selection of old photos the help illustrate the commentary as well.

A popular time to enjoy the tour is in the evening, timed to coincide with sunset at Observation Rock. Here we stop to enjoy, if conditions are suitable, one of the sunsets that gave the Island the Maori name "Rakiura, Land of the Glowing Skies"



Tours are on demand, take about 2 hours and include courtesy transfers to/from accommodation.
