WE ARE OPEN!

Covid-19 >> On Thursday 14th May 2020 New Zealand moved to alert level 2 which means that most businesses can open so long as hygiene standards and physical distancing is maintained and contact registers are in place.

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.

Ulva Island Bird Sanctuary is a unique predator-free environment with well maintained gravel walking tracks.  Discover rare and endangered birds and plants at close quarters and take away the knowledge that you have glimpsed a part of a unique and primeval world.
