A beautiful family trip! - 虽然我们一般都是自己探索一个新的地方,我们这次参加了这个小小的旅行团,结果非常满意!我们的导游是一个非常优秀的女士,解说非常详细,涵盖了历史背景和自然景观!We usually do self guided tour but we booked this tour as time limited. It’s such a beautiful experience! Our guide is a great lady who has covered historical and cultural topics during our short tour. There are many beautiful stops in this short tour! Highly recommend!

Natural beauty - Fantastic tour! Our tour guide Reece was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and showed us all the little bays and local highlights. Seeing the Sea Lion relaxing in the sand was great. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Stewart Island to give a better perspective of the uniqueness of what island life entails.

Great tour through bays and villages - This tour through the villages and about 95 percent of sealed streets of Stewart Island and its bays were really great. Our guide was really informative and also funny.

Stewart Island bus tour. - We flew to Stewart Island for a very short stay (only 5 hours) and chose the bus tour to fit as much in as possible in a short time. Our group was small, and we received very personal service from the guide/driver. Rhys was very informative and entertaining. He had a real working history of the settlement and island. He pointed out all the local attractions and things to do on such a short visit. What a ripper bloke! The tour unfolded stunning panorama after panorama. Highly recommended!
