Stewart Island / Rakiura is the southernmost and smallest island of the three main islands of Aotearoa / New Zealand. It's a 20-minute flight from Invercargill or a one-hour ferry ride from Bluff. Stewart Island is wild, beautiful, and offers a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach. Roughly 85% of the island forms the wild and enchanting Rakiura National Park.
