Stewart Island, Rakiura, 30km from the South Island, across Foveaux Strait, is New Zealand’s third largest island. Its population is just 400, based in Oban, Half Moon Bay. It offers some of the best land and sea bird watching in New Zealand, both on Stewart Island itself and Ulva Island, a predator free island. There is also a prospect of seeing kiwi here, in the wild. And as always plenty of walking opportunities.
