Stewart Island

Stewart Island is the last vision of New Zealand the way it once was. Dense forests, empty beaches, shells washing ashore, and star-filled skies create a sense of stepping back into the country’s ancient past. Kiwi birds roam here in the open, one of the few places in the country where they can still be seen. Offshore, the island has become known for great white sharks that pass through the colder waters, adding an edge of primal intensity.
