Remote, rugged, and enchanting, Stewart Island (Rakiura) is New Zealand’s southernmost sanctuary — a haven for wildlife and tranquillity. Over 85% of the island is protected as Rakiura National Park, offering pristine forests, untouched beaches, and some of the country’s best birdwatching, including the elusive kiwi in the wild. With its slower pace and breathtaking natural beauty, Stewart Island is the perfect escape to reconnect with nature.
