Ulva's Guided Walks is one of the original bird watching companies on Stewart Island, locally owned and operating since 2000. We offer a range of bird watching and botanical experiences at Ulva Island and Stewart Island and specialise in small personal tours - from a few hours to half day, full day and evening experiences.

Take time to enjoy and discover the temperate Gondwanaland rainforest of Ulva Island with one of our local guides - experienced birding, wildlife and natural history specialists that have their own special connection with Stewart Island, the place we call home.
