This is amazing, our guides Olly and Johnny were great, So knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun. We saw 2 Kiwi and got some great footage. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to go to Stewart Island.
Kia Ora Karen, Thank you for your recommendation. We will be sure to pass on your compliments to Olly & Johnny.

Had an amazing time on the trip! Saw: yellow eyed penguin, blue penguin, albatross, brown skua, possum, morepork and 2 kiwi! The presentation was interesting and the staff are super friendly. I can't believe these reviews saying that just because the staff are young they're inexperienced....not at all true, they found and heard animals that no one else did! They heard, spotted and identified EVERYTHING. They were brilliant especially Erin. I went on another tour with Erin as the guide there too, (Ulva Island Guided Walk) and she found bellbirds, saddlebacks, robins, parakeets, tui, weka, blue penguins before anyone else even knew where to look.
Seeing the kiwi was incredible and made my entire trip, thank you!
Thank you for the awesome review! Getting out into the wild and viewing kiwis in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience! We are delighted you experienced this with us. We pride ourselves with our people and so are very happy to hear Erin was knowledgeable, exceeded your expectations. We will be sure to pass on your feedback.

This was just an amazing time, from the background lecture to the additional things we saw like deer, albatross, penguins and of course the kiwi.
Have to say that I enjoyed the walk through the Forrest and clear moon and star filled sky so much.
Kia Ora Colm, Thank you for sharing your 5 star review. We are thrilled to hear you had a great experience.

trip over given wee talk as we left Bluff. Very rough trip & Skipper & staff did best to make us comfortable. Can't see out front but has a screen to see where you are & depth of sea. Highly recommend sealegs!!
Kia Ora Bionickate2016,

It was a 2hr cruise. Just need to arrive 15mins before your departure time. Note that the ferry departure is about 10mins from carpark. There are toilets near the carpark as well as the departure terminal.
Tea and coffee are complimentary on the cruise.
The cruise was pretty nice. The cruise goes along Milford Sound where you can see waterfalls, awesome Mountain View, penguins and seals.
