Stewart Island Tours
Half Moon Bay Stewart IslandStewart Island/ is the southernmost and smallest island of the 3 major islands of New Zealand.

Stewart Island is the least modified - the least logged, least farmed, least burnt and least built upon.

Together with its 170 satellite islands and inlets, it retains a largely intact set of natural habitats ranging from dense coastal rainforest, the expansive freshwater wetlands, Mt Anglem's twin lakes to the numerous small forest-lined rivers stained brown by tannin tundra-like alpine vegetation.

Rakiura is Stewart Island's Maori name, as it is usually translated as Glowing Skies, possibly a reference to the sunsets for which it is famous or for the Aurora Australis - the southern lights that are a phenomenon of southern latitudes.

Over 80 per cent of the island is set aside as the Rakiura National Park being New Zealand's newest national park.
