Stewart Island

Stewart Island is New Zealand’s third largest island, situated 30 kilometers south of the South Island, across the Foveaux Strait. Accessible by air or a very rough ferry ride, it’s definitely worth a visit. Stewart Island is a true outdoor lover’s paradise with more kilometers of hiking tracks than roads and a population of just over 400 people. Most of Stewart Island is preserved in a national park, and it is the best place in New Zealand to see a kiwi bird in its natural habitat. Offshore on Ulva Island, you’ll find a predator-free bird sanctuary with rare native birds.

Get in Touch

Amazing yet again. Esplanade travel planned a great trip to South America to the countries of Argentina Chile and a part of Brazil. We used Esplanade a few years ago for a beautiful trip to New Zealand. Everything was perfect then. We had high hopes for another great trip. From the beginning of the planning process and to organizing all the activities and sights to be seen, were seamless. We had a few things we had already planned and the Esplanade team filled in the rest with perfect accommodations. From the hotels, transfers and guides, everything was perfect. We had an amazing trip crisscrossing Argentina to Chile. No doubt in my mind I will be using Esplanade Travel again. True professionals that are connected to the world and know how to plan meaningful adventurous trips.<br />
