A fascinating guided walking tour on predator-free Ulva Island
Situated in the ‘Roaring Forties’ between latitudes 46 and 47 degrees south, Stewart Island has, for many years, remained one of New Zealand’s best-kept secrets – a unique unspoiled wilderness paradise, which is home to an intriguing array of flora and fauna including the country's national icon – the Kiwi. It lies off the southern coast of the South Island and is accessible via a 20 minute flight from Invercargill. Its even lesser known tiny neighbour – Ulva Island (just a short water taxi ride across the Paterson Inlet) – is a predator-free sanctuary, known for its array of rare and endangered birds and plants. Who better to be your guide than a direct descendant of the first people of this tiny 3.5km island? Passionate about her home – and committed to giving visitors a special insight into Ulva Island’s spiritual heritage and conservation values – Ulva offers fascinating guided walking tours on the island after which she was named. Benefit from her wealth of knowledge on the native flora and fauna, walk beneath the canopy of the forest and explore the island’s pristine coastline. After your morning’s guided walk, transfer to a catamaran for a delicious seafood lunch and relaxing scenic cruise on Paterson Inlet. Accommodation on Stewart Island - or private helicopter transfers from The Lodge at TIkana can be arranged.
