Stewart Island Experience (Coming Soon)

An island that offers a special experience

A glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle

Stewart Island offers a special experience - a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle, in rhythm with the sea and the tides, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach.

In 2002 the very qualities that make this a great place to treasure were recognised in the formation of the Rakiura National Park, comprising 85% of the island's 1570 square kilometres.

In 2019 Stewart Island/Rakiura was awarded Dark Sky Sanctuary accreditation by the International Dark Sky Association. Classified by the IDA as having outstanding sky quality - and being accredited with Sanctuary status - helps to ensure that light pollution levels are controlled and our natural nightscape is protected for the future.

Join us onboard the Affinity Vessel which has been recently updated and features a brand new crew with a real passion for the environment and ensuring everyones needs are well and truly met. There’ll be opportunities to fish, walk, relax, eat stunning food and explore all Stewart Island has to offer.

Come and see this unique part of the country with us!

We did the 4 Gems of the South tour. It was my first trip with Take It Easy, and everything was so well organised. Jason was a fantastic tour guide and made the trip fun as well as interesting. Looking forward to more adventures with Take It Easy.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. I really appreciated the care you took of us all, making sure everyone was happy and safe; picking up on people's interests and making sure we were all seeing the things that would interest us. I appreciated the clear instructions for the next day. And the stories you told as we drove along. A great selection of songs on the bus too. 😀 All in all a great trip, I'll certainly be telling my friends and singing the praises of Take it Easy Tours.

Jimmy and Jason just put together the most amazing three week Agricultural Study tour for 51 students and six staff From Wales.They were fantastic to work with, professional, attention to every detail, but brilliant fun too. You won't find better than Take It Easy Tours, they are Simply the Best!

Used Take It Easy Tours for my wedding transport for our guests and they were amazing. Very easy to deal with and made the trip safe for our guests to get home.
