Booking Information

- Suitable for ages 15+
- Please note that due to the late departure times, you will need to arrange accommodation on Stewart Island for the evening
- Please bring a rain jacket, walking shoes, and a warm layer.
- You have a higher chance of finding kiwis with our expert staff. However, kiwis are wild and unpredictable, and there is no 100% guarantee they will appear. Their rareness and the thrill of searching are what makes the experience special and enjoyable, so we cannot offer refunds if there is no sighting. Instead, $20 per person will be donated to conservation projects at Little Glory Cove, so we can continue to increase the chances of seeing the incredible tokoeka in the wild.
