Experience the magic of the Aurora Australis—an unforgettable journey to witness the Southern Lights from Stewart Island, New Zealand. Unlike any other, this tour blends celestial wonder with rare wildlife encounters and rich cultural heritage. Marvel at the vibrant night skies from the world’s southernmost Dark Sky Sanctuary. By day, explore predator-free Ulva Island, spot wild kiwi birds in daylight, cruise Paterson Inlet, and photograph rare penguins and seabirds. Engage with local artisans, learn about the island’s whaling history, and craft your own jade carving. With wet-weather options like museums and workshops, every moment is meaningful—rain or shine. Choose from 3, 4, or 5-day packages and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and timeless charm of Rakiura. This is more than a tour; it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that sets itself apart with its unique location, intimate experiences, and the breathtaking Aurora Australis lighting up the southern skies.
