Marine Nature Cruises

Discover diverse marine species above and below the waterline during this 2.5 hour cruise excursion.

Depart Stewart Island Visitor Terminal on our catamaran and explore the coastal area adjacent to Halfmoon Bay and the Titi Islands - home to many marine species. Our nature guide provides commentary and detailed interpretation of the area's history and fauna during the cruise and is happy to answer any questions.

Midway through the excursion transfer to our semi-submersible (Mollymawk) to view Stewart Island’s rich marine life below the waterline including kelp forests and fish species.  The large windows provide ideal viewing.

The Titi Islands is a breeding ground for seals and great white sharks, so keep a look out for these and other wildlife including penguins, dolphins and albatross.
