SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2009

PRIOR BOOKINGS ARE RECOMMENDED. Please make sure you pre-book any tours prior to your visit to Stewart Island to avoid disappointment. If we are out guiding, please leave a message on our answer machine with you contact details or better still, send us an email.

We are available for a variety of guided activities - look out for our new brochures launched in August 2009. We have lots of tour options and can operate any tour subject to bookings and numbers. Ulva Island - Birds & Forest is our most popular tour along with Kiwi Journey.

See Our Trips in the menu bar above. ALL TOURS ARE AVAILABLE SUBJECT TO BOOKINGS.

To ensure that our Visitors are always receiving accurate and upto date information about our comprehensive tours and services and that you are not restricted by accommodation choices, we wish to notify our Visitors that:

- We no longer operate through information centres or the New Zealand I-Site Network. We pay for the display of our brochures at selected I-Sites.

- We do not operate through any booking office or information centre in Bluff or Stewart, including the flight/ferry centres or competitor booking offices.

KAKAPO VIEWING - From September 26th to October 26th 2009 there will be one kakapo (the world's only nocturnal flightless parrot, one of only 124 birds remaining), on show for night time viewing in an enclosure on Ulva Island. We are booking agents for this tour. For further information please contact us.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We have moved our "Birds & Forest Booking Office" to the Corner Main Road and Dundee Street, a central location in Oban Village, Halfmoon Bay. We are also operating this as a travel agency "Stewart Island Travel & Activities" for travel, accommodation and activities needs.

It is only 1/2 minute walk from the Department of Conservation Office, approx. 3 1/2 minutes walk from the flight and ferry centres.

We hope you will find this new location more convenient.
Our phone/fax/mobile/email/website all remain the same (see bottom of page)
