Join internationally renowned guides on a tour of Ulva Island (Te Wharawhara), the world's southern-most open bird sanctuary. The guided walk combines native podocarp forest, picturesque sandy beaches and rocky outcrops along the 4.5 kilometres of easy walking track.
Pest-free since 1997, Ulva Island provides a habitat where rare plants and endangered birds can thrive. Enjoy the unique opportunity to spot the Stewart Island robin, South Island rifleman, South Island kaka, red-crowned parakeet, Stewart Island weka, wood pigeon, kakariki, saddleback, mohua (yellowhead) and – if you're lucky – the Stewart Island Brown Kiwi (tokoeka).
The guides are passionate about this open sanctuary's inhabitants, as well as its unique forest habitat and cultural history. They will enhance your birding experience on this guided tour, before you enjoy a short return boat cruise to Oban.
