Birding Bonanza and Kiwi Spotting full day tour of Ulva and Stewart Islands
This full-day trip is the ultimate birding and nature experience on Stewart Island. This tour also includes an opportunity to see the elusive and beautiful local kiwis, but due to their susceptibility to weather conditions the exact timing of your visit to watch them is flexible.
