We went in January, whilst there were still an hour of day/twilight, the trip started off observing various sea and coastal birds and seals around various islands and coves with very informative commentary. During the ferry ride, we were professionally given a presentation about the kiwis and the specific subspecies on Stewart Island and how to respectfully handle ourselves in searching and observing the kiwis. The guides then professionally in both skill and equipment took us on an hike where we observed a total of 6 kiwis in clear sight within 10m. We also observed one fur seal via the thermal scope on the beach.
