WE ARE OPEN

New Zealand is operating under the COVID-19 Protection Framework known as the “traffic light system”. 

Stewart Island/Rakiura is currently at the ORANGE traffic light setting. From 24th January 2022 New Zealand moves to the RED traffic light setting.

​Ulva’s Guided Walks' activities are classified as mixed environment. Our walks take place outdoors. To access the wonderful areas we visit requires travelling in what is considered indoors - by vehicle for kiwi spotting and water taxi for Ulva Island.
​
​To help protect our community, clients, and our team, Ulva's Guided Walks require those aged 12¼ years and over joining our tours to:

1. show our guide and water taxi skipper a valid Vaccine Pass; 
2. wear a face mask while travelling on the water taxi service;
3. wear a face mask while travelling in our vehicle.

Read more about the measures we have in place, our terms, FAQs, and cancellation policy.  If you have an existing booking you'd like to discuss please get in touch.

Ulva's Guided Walks is one of the original bird watching companies at 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.  Ulva Island Bird Sanctuary is a unique predator-free environment with well maintained gravel walking tracks.

Ulva's Guided Walks is 21 years old!
