My favorite tells of a young man named Te Rakiuramau who, after being repeatedly rejected by the daughters of tribal chiefs, had his heartbreak reflected in the red skies at dusk and dawn. I love M\u0101ori legends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is located 30 kilometers south of New Zealand\u2019s South Island and spans 1,746 km\u00b2. About 85% of the island is protected as part of Rakiura National Park. It\u2019s rich in native forests and bird species such as the kiwi and the little blue penguin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, invasive species such as deer and possums are also present. In fact, hunting these invasive species is a common activity on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for human population, Stewart Island is home to only about 440 residents, most of whom live in the <strong>town of Oban<\/strong> and make a living from fishing and tourism. Oban is connected by ferry to Bluff, at the southern tip of the South Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-to-visit-stewart-island\">When to Visit Stewart Island<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about Stewart Island is its surprisingly mild climate, despite its proximity to the South Pole\u2014it almost never snows. Because of this, <strong>Rakiura can be visited year-round<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to tackle one of the island\u2019s longer hiking routes, <strong>summer<\/strong> is the best season. When I visited with my girlfriend in late February, we spent 10 days exploring the island (more on that later), and it only rained a couple of times. I even went swimming in the sea and rivers more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I didn\u2019t get to see the Aurora Australis during our visit. These are <strong>more common in winter<\/strong>, from March to September. During those months, temperatures drop, and frequent rainfall makes the trails much muddier. Keep that in mind and choose the timing that best fits your travel goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"travel-insurance\">Travel Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to travel to New Zealand with comprehensive insurance.&nbsp;<strong>We were among the first<\/strong>&nbsp;to offer the popular&nbsp;<strong>IATI discount<\/strong>, and you can now get it with&nbsp;<strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/heymondo-travel-insurance-discount\/\">Heymondo Travel Insurance<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more information about both companies through the links provided above, or you can access the discount directly using the buttons below (in both cases, you\u2019ll see the reduced final price on their website):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list bot-new\">\n<li class=\"bot-new-seguro\"><em>IATI Travel Insurance<\/em>&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iatitravelinsurance.com\/en\/?r=1419098974388&amp;cmp=pag-EN-steward-island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discount<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bot-new-seguro\"><em>Heymondo&nbsp;<\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/?utm_medium=Afiliado&amp;utm_source=CONMOCHILAEN&amp;utm_campaign=PRINCIPAL&amp;cod_descuento=CONMOCHILAEN&amp;ag_campaign=HOME+ENGLISH&amp;agencia=gyRKk5CeTCciisFnu3vw6wkweIlxr3cYiN0qboD8&amp;redirect=TEMPORAL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discount<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bot-new-seguro\"><em>Chapka Travel Insurance<\/em>&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapkadirect.com\/?app=conmochila\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discount<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"e-sim-card\">eSIM Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Internet is mandatory for getting around and using metservice, the country&#8217;s weather service. Keeping up to date with the weather is necessary if you don&#8217;t want to have any problems. It can also be very useful when translating if you don&#8217;t understand English very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, we will tell you how to get a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/new-zealand-esim-with-unlimited-data-and-discount\/\">New Zealand SIM card<\/a><\/strong> with the internet and take advantage of its affordable prices. And now we also have information about the <strong>New Zealand eSIM with unlimited data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-stewart-island\">How to Get to Stewart Island<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to Stewart Island isn\u2019t exactly cheap. There are two main ways to get there, and one more scenic, less common option. Let\u2019s look at all of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an island, <strong>the cheapest way to get there is by ferry<\/strong>\u2014this is the method we used to get to Rakiura. Simply buy your tickets at the port of Bluff and hop on board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are usually two to three ferries per day, depending on the season (typically morning and afternoon). The price is steep: NZ$89 one-way, though you can save a bit by booking a return ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second main option is flying from Invercargill. A small plane will get you to Stewart Island in less than 20 minutes, with one-way fares around NZ$200. It\u2019s a fast and comfortable option, though quite pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the most scenic (and expensive) option is to take a helicopter flight. If the plane seemed pricey, this one might leave you speechless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get to Bluff<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, if you plan to take the ferry, your goal is to reach Bluff. If you&#8217;re driving, it&#8217;s just over 20 minutes from Invercargill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning one of the island\u2019s longer hikes, you&#8217;ll need a secure place to leave your car. Luckily, <strong>Bluff offers several car parks<\/strong> that charge a daily rate. <strong>Many hotels also offer valet parking<\/strong>\u2014this is what we chose to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a car, a minibus service operates three times daily between Invercargill and Bluff. Look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catchabussouth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Catch a Bus<\/strong><\/a>. And if you&#8217;re wondering how to get to Invercargill in the first place, just keep reading. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get to Invercargill<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Invercargill is the largest city in the Southland region and is well-connected to the rest of New Zealand. You can fly in from any major airport in the country. From there, you can either take a small plane to Stewart Island or travel onward by land. Invercargill is also connected via InterCity bus to Dunedin (3 hours), Queenstown (3 hours), and Christchurch (10 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, if there\u2019s a bus, you can drive too\u2014usually with a shorter and more flexible travel time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity has-text-color has-background has-light-grey-background-color has-light-grey-color\" id=\"sep1\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" id=\"fila2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-senff-sticky-block\" data-topspace=\"60\" data-cfa=\"true\" data-minwidth=\"600\" data-maxwidth=\"99999\" data-pushup=\"#sep2\" data-zindex=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\">\n  <nav>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/iconos\/ver.png\" alt=\"What to see in Stewart Island\" class=\"img-menu-content img-menu-content-nz\">\n    <h2 id=\"que-ver-hacer-stewart-island\" class=\"menu-seccion\">WHAT TO SEE<\/h2>\n    <ul>\n      <li><a href=\"#ulva-island\">Ulva Island<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#rakiura-museum\">Rakiura Museum<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#bunkhouse-theatre\">Bunkhouse Theatre<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#bathing-beach\">Bathing Beach<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#try-the-fish-and-chips\">Try the &#8220;Fish and Chips&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#observation-rock\">Observation Rock<\/a> <li><a href=\"#rakiura-track\">Rakiura Track<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#north-west-circuit\">North West Circuit<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#southern-circuit\">Southern Circuit<\/a><\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column margin-bottom-0 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading outline\">WHAT TO SEE \/ DO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ulva-island\">Ulva Island<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ulva Island is a <strong>pristine sanctuary covered in New Zealand\u2019s original vegetation and inhabited only by native bird species<\/strong>. It\u2019s untouched, except for the well-maintained walking trails that crisscross this small island just off the coast of Stewart Island. The only way to reach Ulva Island is by boat, a 10-minute ride from Golden Bay in Rakiura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This island is a true gem\u2014a window into what New Zealand looked like before human impact. If you visit, remember that this is a <strong>protected sanctuary for plants and animals<\/strong>, and you are only a guest. This means: no pets, no drones, no bird call devices, no music, no dancing, no running&#8230; you get the idea, right?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-04.jpg\" alt=\"A Haven for Wildlife\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Haven for Wildlife<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can, however, walk the trails, spot birds (it won\u2019t be hard), and enjoy quiet, deserted beaches with views back toward Stewart Island. With some luck, you might see adorable kiwi birds, South Island robins, and a variety of seabirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rakiura-museum\">Rakiura Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rakiura Museum on Stewart Island houses <strong>an extensive collection<\/strong> of historical objects, artefacts, and photographs that tell the story of the island. It\u2019s a quirky museum, blending traditional exhibits with interactive ones\u2014using projectors and touchscreens to fully immerse visitors in the island&#8217;s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re curious about the M\u0101ori legend I mentioned earlier, the museum also features several others, along with testimonies from early explorers and stories about the neighboring islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on the main street of Oban, just a 5-minute walk from the port, the museum is open daily. Entry costs NZ$10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bunkhouse-theatre\">Bunkhouse Theatre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This local theatre has a unique style, with a 1970s vibe. It offers a wide range of films and is an ideal way to wind down after a long day or hike. The theatre also features a locally made film, \u201c<strong>A Local&#8217;s Tail\u201d<\/strong>, which plays on a loop. The film offers a quirky perspective on Stewart Island, seen through the eyes of a dog discovering Rakiura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bathing-beach\">Bathing Beach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stewart Island\u2019s beaches all have a tropical feel, with crystal-clear blue waters and golden sands, and the added bonus of being completely deserted. Bathing Beach is no exception\u2014this beautiful spot can be reached after a 15-minute uphill walk from Oban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be discouraged by the climb; from the top, you\u2019ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Oban and its harbor. Then it\u2019s just a matter of descending through some bush to reach the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-05.jpg\" alt=\"Bathing Beach\" style=\"width:auto;height:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bathing Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On sunny days, you can swim or simply take a stroll along the shore, admiring the sea, rocky cliffs, and surrounding nature. If you&#8217;re feeling adventurous, you can walk a little further to reach the <strong>neighboring Butterfield Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, relaxing and sunbathing might be a bit tricky, as the infamous sandflies here will likely keep you on your toes\u2014something to expect throughout your stay on Stewart Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"try-the-fish-and-chips\">Try the &#8220;Fish and Chips&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019ve probably gathered, Rakiura\u2019s economy relies heavily on fishing, making it the perfect place to enjoy some delicious \u201cfish and chips\u201d (historically, New Zealand was a former British colony, after all).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The local fish on Stewart Island is <strong>blue cod<\/strong>, and the restaurant where we had it, Kai Karte, serves the fish the traditional way\u2014battered in butter and accompanied by crispy chips. Another popular spot in Oban is the <strong>South Sea Hotel<\/strong>, which offers both indoor and outdoor dining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"observation-rock\">Observation Rock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a <strong>stunning view of Ulva Island, the Stewart Island coastline<\/strong>, and beautiful Golden Bay, make sure to hike up Observation Rock. The trail starts just outside Oban, and a short 15-minute walk uphill will lead you to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-03.jpg\" alt=\"Golden Bay\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Golden Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you time your visit during sunset, the views will be even more spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rakiura-track\">Rakiura Track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of New Zealand\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/parks-and-recreation\/things-to-do\/walking-and-tramping\/great-walks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Great Walks<\/strong><\/a>, the Rakiura Track is a must-do and requires advance booking. This 32-kilometer circuit can be completed in two to three days. You can start from Oban, although the <strong>official starting point is Lee Bay, 5 kilometers from the town, and the track ends at Fern Gully.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some sections of the Rakiura Track overlap with the North West Circuit, which we did, and we found them to be charming, with a well-maintained path that made the experience even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-01.jpg\" alt=\"Secret Beach on the Rakiura Track\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Secret Beach on the Rakiura Track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned, the Rakiura Track is the best-maintained loop on Stewart Island. Most of the route follows the coastline, offering spectacular views of beaches and cliffs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point, you\u2019ll reach a small cove, after which you\u2019ll enter the jungle, climb hills, and cross small streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you\u2019ve come for the beach, don\u2019t be discouraged. Along this stretch, you\u2019re likely to see the kiwi birds&#8230; in broad daylight!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-02.jpg\" alt=\"The nature on Rakiura is truly remarkable\" style=\"width:auto;height:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The nature on Rakiura is truly remarkable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to accommodation, you can camp in a tent or book one of the cabins designated for walkers, but these require <strong>reservations online or at the Oban Visitor Center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"north-west-circuit\">North West Circuit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the circuit we did, and I can tell you that it was <strong>quite an adventure<\/strong>. The route spans 125 kilometers and takes 9 to 10 days to complete. We finished it in 9 days by combining the last two sections (we were pretty motivated!). The North West Circuit shares the start and finish with the Rakiura Track. You can do the North West Circuit in either direction, but I recommend going <strong>counterclockwise <\/strong>so that the most challenging stages are at the end, allowing you to tackle them with a lighter backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all of this sounds appealing, pack your backpack well\u2014because you\u2019ll be without food for 10 days except for what you carry. But if you run low, some areas allow you to fish for giant Paua oysters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-06.jpg\" alt=\"I\u2019m pretty proud of the pauas I caught! \ud83d\ude0a\" style=\"width:auto;height:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I\u2019m pretty proud of the pauas I caught! \ud83d\ude0a<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This circuit is the hardest I\u2019ve ever done and is truly a survival experience. The North West Circuit takes you through the northern part of Stewart Island, following the coastline and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to plan your days carefully, as some beaches can only be visited at low tide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-07.jpg\" alt=\"Some beaches can only be walked on at low tide\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some beaches can only be walked on at low tide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This route is also excellent for <strong>seeing kiwi birds in broad daylight<\/strong>, which we did! However, the best part for me was the personal challenge\u2014testing my limits and having the adventure of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-08.jpg\" alt=\"In the photo, the kiwi is next to us because it approached while we stood there, stunned, careful not to scare it off\" style=\"width:auto;height:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the photo, the kiwi is next to us because it approached while we stood there, stunned, careful not to scare it off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While on the route, you can also <strong>hike up Mt.

However, be prepared for a detour that will require an extra day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-09.jpg\" alt=\"Views from Mt Anglen\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Views from Mt Anglen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you can camp along the way or stay in public cabins for a very reasonable price. We did a mix of both. To do this hike, make sure to bring a map, compass, sturdy hiking boots, and mud covers, among other essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"southern-circuit\">Southern Circuit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge on Stewart Island is the Southern Circuit, a 71-kilometer loop that takes 4 to 6 days to complete. You can either take a taxi-boat to the start of the trail or walk for two days from Oban to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This circuit takes you through the <strong>vast valleys of Freshwater and Rakeahua<\/strong>, where you\u2019ll be completely immersed in nature. The Freshwater Valley is shared with the North West Circuit, and the trail here is well-maintained, though the surrounding area can be <strong>swampy<\/strong> and overgrown with bushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stewart Island\u2019s valleys are <strong>prone to flooding<\/strong>, so walking through them in rainy conditions is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-10.jpg\" alt=\"Start of the Freshwater Valley, which it shares with the North West Circuit\" style=\"width:auto;height:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Start of the Freshwater Valley, which it shares with the North West Circuit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Just like the previous stops, you can choose to camp independently or stay in public huts for a symbolic fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity has-text-color has-background has-light-grey-background-color has-light-grey-color\" id=\"sep2\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" id=\"fila3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-senff-sticky-block\" data-topspace=\"60\" data-cfa=\"true\" data-minwidth=\"600\" data-maxwidth=\"99999\" data-pushup=\"#sep3\" data-zindex=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\">\n  <nav>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/iconos\/tours.png\" alt=\"Tours in Stewart Island\" class=\"img-menu-content img-menu-content-nz\">\n    <h2 id=\"tours-stewart-island\" class=\"menu-seccion\">TOURS<\/h2>\n    <ul>\n      <li><a href=\"#search-for-the-wild-kiwi-birds\">Search for the Wild Kiwi Birds<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ulva-island-tour\">Ulva Island Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#stewart-island-villages-and-bays-tour\">Stewart Island Villages and Bays Tour<\/a><\/li>\n\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading outline\">TOURS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"search-for-the-wild-kiwi-birds\">Search for the Wild Kiwi Birds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, as I\u2019ve mentioned, Stewart Island is the best place to see the iconic kiwi birds.

This means that getting around here will be quite different from the rest of New Zealand, where you can usually drive anywhere. However, if you\u2019ve become accustomed to traveling by car, you can rent a car on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, <strong>the best way to get around Rakiura is on foot<\/strong>. The island isn\u2019t very large, and the town is quite small, so you can reach most places without getting too tired. Also, if you&#8217;re doing one of the hiking routes mentioned earlier, walking around the town can serve as a warm-up. However, if you\u2019re carrying a full backpack, it\u2019s best to explore the town after your hike or leave your backpack at one of the hotels I\u2019ve mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great way to get around Stewart Island is <strong>by bike or e-scooter<\/strong>. These are ideal for getting around Oban and its immediate surroundings, but don\u2019t even think about venturing into the jungle on one\u2014they\u2019re not suited for that! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realnz.com\/en\/experiences\/rentals\/vehicle-rentals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Here<\/strong><\/a> is a link where you can rent bikes, e-scooters, and even cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-assessment-and-conmochila-tips\">Final Assessment and Conmochila Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, Stewart Island is <strong>completely dedicated to New Zealand\u2019s natural beauty<\/strong>. It\u2019s an incredible destination for hiking over several days, and also a place to discover the country\u2019s native birds. With that in mind, I recommend visiting the island if you&#8217;re planning to do any of the hiking routes or explore Ulva Island. Otherwise, the trip may not be as worthwhile, given the high costs of getting to the island and accommodations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re only planning to visit Ulva Island and some of Stewart Island\u2019s beaches, two days and one night should be enough to see it all. If you\u2019re tackling the hiking routes I\u2019ve described, the time required will vary greatly depending on the route you choose and how long it takes you to complete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I\u2019ll leave you with a round of practical tips and recommendations that are especially important when exploring an almost deserted island and embarking on multi-day hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the weather conditions daily, especially if you\u2019re tackling the Southern or North West circuits. The weather on Stewart Island can be unpredictable and unforgiving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t stray from the trail, as getting lost is common when hiking the circuits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During your tour of the island, apply the rule: everything I bring, I carry with me. This includes organic food leftovers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gear up appropriately and make sure to <strong>visit the Stewart Island Visitor Center<\/strong> for the latest updates on the island and trail conditions. The center can offer valuable tips before you set off on your hike.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don\u2019t have the necessary equipment, several shops on the island offer rentals for boots, waterproof clothing, and other hiking gear. If you\u2019re doing the North West Circuit, it may be cheaper to buy equipment in the shops rather than renting it for 10 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, here\u2019s a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/documents\/parks-and-recreation\/tracks-and-walks\/southland\/rakiura-northwest-southerncircuitbrochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">short article with recommendations<\/a><\/strong> and details about the three hiking routes on Stewart Island that I mentioned in this post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"map\">Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the image and it will take you to a new Google Maps window with all the points of interest to travel around Steward Island.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/1\/embed?mid=1iEarvdOauM_pDdGt2giQ6JBVgDm-_jo&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/stewart-island-mapa.jpg\" alt=\"Stewart Island Map\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stewart Island Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stewart Island is a stunning destination with almost untouched flora and fauna.
