Ulva Island

Ulva Island is a small, predator free sanctuary just off the Rakiura mainland, accessed only by boat. Its trails run through untouched forest, filled with native bird calls and colour.

Choose to take a guided walk through untouched forests. Guides on the Ulva Island Explorer point out native plants and birds along the way, including saddleback, kākā, fantail, and weka.
