Top Places: Rakiura National Park, Oban.
If the South Island of New Zealand isn't isolated enough for you then you
can always head further south to New Zealand's third largest island, Stewart
Island. The main gateway to Stewart Island is Bluff in Southland. Ferries
depart daily across the Foveaux Strait.
Oban
is the only town on the island and is also the arrival and departure point
for the South Island (the Mainland). The rest of the island remains a paradise
of forest and hills, where many rare and endangered birds can be found. There
are also beaches and excellent fishing spots.
Most of Stewart Island
has now been designated as national park. The infrastructure is being upgraded
to cope with the expected increase in visitors.
