A guided walk on Stewart Island taking in Oneke's coastal dunes, native forest, and Māori heritage, with sea crossings by catamaran from Oban.
The Stewart Island Guided Wilderness Walk is a guided tour departing from Oban on Stewart Island, off the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island. The tour begins at the ferry terminal in Oban, where guests board a catamaran for a scenic crossing to Oneke. Stewart Island, known in Māori as Rakiura, is one of New Zealand's least developed islands, covering around 1,746 square kilometres with over 85 per cent protected as Rakiura National Park. For visitors exploring things to do in Dunedin and the wider Southland region, this tour offers a practical and well-guided introduction to the island's landscapes and cultural history.
On arrival at Oneke, the walk takes in coastal dunes, rugged shorelines, and dense native forest. Guides cover the ecological significance of the area, pointing out native plants and birds including Weka and nesting seabirds, while explaining ongoing local conservation efforts. The cultural dimension of the tour addresses Oneke's role in Māori history and its place in early European settlement. The return journey is made by catamaran back to Oban. Tickets cover the guided walk, both sea crossings, and the services of a qualified local guide throughout.
Make your way to the ferry terminal in Oban ahead of your departure time. Check in at the Visitor Terminal, where you will meet your guide before boarding the catamaran to Oneke. Arrive in good time before the start so the group can depart together without delay.
This is an outdoor guided experience, so follow your guide's instructions at all times, particularly around wildlife and sensitive natural areas. Stay with the group on the trail. Photography is welcome throughout, though your guide may ask you to keep noise and movement to a minimum during wildlife encounters to avoid disturbing the animals.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time.
