Stewart Island Village & Bays Tours

Discover what makes the southernmost community of New Zealand fascinating on a Stewart Island Village & Bays Tours, and learn more of Stewart Island’s history and environment. With our modern mini-buses and guides leading the way, explore Oban and its surrounding bays and gain insight into what makes the island unique in all of New Zealand.

Stunning, pristine and rich in history, ‘Rakiura’ (or ‘glowing skies’ as what Maori called Stewart Island) deserves such informative introduction. Our local guides love to impart what they know about the area as you go around the island on a mini-bus tour. Expect that you will have enough time to step out of the bus to take magnificent pictures or invigorating short walks.

Stopping at Lee Bay, the gateway to Rakiura National Park, is one of the highlights of the tour, and so are visits to the delightful Horseshoe Bay and Observation Rock with its magnificent views of Paterson Inlet.
