Ulva Island
Ruggedy Range have a number of excellent way's for you to enjoy Stewart Island and a guided walk on Ulva Island is one of these.
The island is an open sanctuary so anyone can take a water taxi and visit but to do this on your own would be a huge mistake. The interpretation and information received from a guide is invaluable. I'm not sure just how many bird species there are on the island but it is lots and many of them are rare and hard to find. A guide is able to work out the bird locations and bird calls thus insuring bird lovers get to see as many birds as possible.
The bush cover on the island is extensive but not dense and the trails are very well maintained.
You can spend all day on the island if you are a keen bird watcher so a morning guided walk sets you up for an afternoon of bird watching on your own.
New Zealand's endangered National Icon, the Kiwi, can be found on Ulva Island and unlike their mainland cousins are often seen during the day.
If you go to Stewart Island you cannot miss the chance to visit Ulva Island - just be sure to use a local guide.
