Choose from two unique experiences:

Rakiura Kiwi and Wildlife Encounter: Embark on an unforgettable journey into the wild landscapes of Rakiura Stewart Island as day turns to night in search of the elusive Southern brown kiwi (tokoeka). Begin with a scenic pre-sunset cruise around nearby islands, spotting wildlife such as albatross, penguins, titi (mutton bird), and New Zealand fur seals. After an onboard introduction to kiwi behaviour and conservation, arrive at Little Glory Cove for a guided evening walk through coastal forest and along a secluded beach, where expert local guides help maximise your chances of seeing kiwi in the wild.

Oneke by night, Walk with Kiwi: Explore Oneke (“The Neck”), a culturally significant and breathtaking coastal landscape on Rakiura Stewart Island. Hear stories of Maori and European history before setting off on a night-time kiwi search. After your walk, enjoy a warm drink in the traditional whare before cruising back to Oban beneath the night sky.

Important Info: Approx. 2 hours of walking required. Tracks may be uneven or muddy so sturdy footwear and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.
