Thanks. Friendly staff very helpful. check it out and they were very kind and rebooked for right day at no extra cost. Thanks ferry people you were great. Stewart Island Ferry ServicesWe took the ferry to Stewart Island. It takes an hour on a fast ferry.
But now they’re left in peace, they don’t seem too perturbed by interlopers – and totter right up to the dangling laces of muddy boots. Maori have only ever lived on Stewart Island sporadically, while European whalers, sealers, farmers and saw-millers have seen their industries die out pretty quickly. The current population is officially 381, and it has never really crept much higher than that. That it hasn’t gives a little clue to what makes Stewart Island special. Types of Things to Do in ObanThe Invercargill – Bluff coach service operates for each ferry departure and arrival. Pick-ups and drop-offs are available from several Invercargill accommodation properties and the Invercargill i-Site Visitor Centre. is located adjacent to the Bluff Visitor Terminal (extra cost) for visitors taking the ferry to Stewart Island. A good trip to Stewart island and back. A little rough but added to the ride. It had been very hot during the day so we decided to head over to golden bay for a quick dip which was very nice but a bit chilly, the water was incredibly clear. By i was reading this was almost time to give the bikes back so we headed back to the shes to hand them in. Although we didnt see any kiwis the previous night we decided to go out again and it had been raining which we were told is better for the kiwis so we would be more likely to see them, so we headed out. We saw them on Ulva island, a small island in a bay of Stuart island. couple of days we 2ere we saw loads of different birds including, kakas, parakeets, tuis and wood pigeons.
