We went on the Ulva island tour and the kiwi spotting trip - both fantastic. Recommend doing Ulva early in your visit to Stewart island, as you will learn about the local environment and what to look out for during your stay.nKiwi spotting was an absolute highlight and worth paying to be taken to a location that is NOT accessible to the public - meaning the kiwi were very trusting and came right up to our feet. Kat was an exceptional guide that we were lucky to have on both trips. Hannah was also lovely on Ulva and Ange brilliant with the kiwi : Don’t leave it too late to book - these guys sell out in peak seasons.
The tour started with a briefing on respecting the birds. We were warned that not many kiwis were out because they were on eggs. When we didn’t see any kiwis the other guide started playing the male call and a bird came out which was really cool. After the kiwi went back into the scrub he called the same kiwi out three more times with the recorded call. The poor bird was looking very stressed. We were disappointed to see the lack of respect for the birds.
We went on their kiwi spotting tour the other night and it was such a great night! We were fortunate enough to see 3 kiwi that night. The tour guide was very informative and as we finished the night we saw 3 more on the side of the road to double our number : highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful kiwi spotting and land&sea tour. Would recommend booking with Ange and the team to anyone. Great customer service, wealth of knowledge and just generally had a great time!
The experience was amazing and definitely a highlight of my time here in NZ. We were lucky enough to see 5 Kiwi on Stewart Island! Emma was an incredible guide, very empathetic to the Kiwi and gave us great facts and tips of how to take photos of the beautiful night sky! no doubt we wouldn't have seen so many Kiwi without her careful guidance
