Oban Visitor Centre on Stewart Island.

Stewart Island is an untouched, relaxing, and exotic island in New Zealand.&nbsp;Just a 1-hour boat ride&nbsp;from Bluff, Stewart Island is one of New Zealand&#39;s largely undiscovered eco-tourism destinations. It&#39;s home to a beautiful&nbsp;network of stunning bays, inlets, golden sand beaches, and densely forested hills.

&nbsp;

Stewart Island is&nbsp;30 km (19 miles) from the southern tip of the south island. Once you&#39;re on Stewart Island, embark on this informative tour to gain an entertaining insight into New Zealand&rsquo;s southernmost community&nbsp;and learn about the history and environment of Stewart Island. Local guides will share their knowledge of the area during a&nbsp;mini-bus tour &mdash; you&#39;ll have plenty of time to get off the bus for photo stops and short walks.

&nbsp;

On this tour, you&#39;ll get to explore Oban and the surrounding bays. Be sure to ask your guide questions about the history and environment of Stewart Island. The island offers a special experience &mdash;&nbsp;a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle attuned to the natural world of bush and beach.&nbsp;From the 13th Century to the present day, the island&#39;s rich resources provide&nbsp;a bountiful harvest for Maori.&nbsp;Unspoiled, incredibly beautiful, and steeped in stories, Stewart Island (known as Rakiura, meaning glowing skies by Maori) is well worth this informative introduction.&nbsp;
