Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to/from North-Arm?

We offer a dedicated water-taxi service. This transfer takes approximately 25 minutes each way and follows the coastline to/from North-Arm. Points of interest along the way include, Kaipipi Bay, The Whalers Base, Millars Beach, and Sawdust Bay. We land on the beach near the hut at North-Arm, there is no wharf. You can book this online or call us if you need specialized times.

How long is the walk from North-Arm the village?

Approximately 3-4 hours to get from the drop-off point to walk all the way back to the village or vice versa. The track is very well marked and easy to follow. Locals will tell you take your time, as there plenty of stunning views and picturesque spots to rest, and most people complete the walk quicker than anticipated.

Are the tracks very muddy?

There may be some parts that are a little muddy after heavy rain, but normally nothing that feels impassable. Our team can give you an update on track conditions.

Do I need to book water-taxi in advance?

It is recommended to book in advance. Typically, water taxi trips to North-Arm depart in the morning. This gives you plenty of time for walking the track. We can also customize times to suit you.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If we deem the weather conditions or forecast to be dangerous, we will cancel the booking, and you will receive a full refund. Please note, Stewart Island does receive a lot of rain and wind at times – be sure to bring clothing for all conditions. We can provide up to date forecasts to help you make informed decisions.

Is there a way to make it a shorter walk?

Absolutely! Subject to weather, we can also offer a drop-off to Kaipipi – this allows you experience amazing forests and coastal track on a manageable portion of the track. Once you arrive at the track’s end/road start, you can either catch a land-taxi (Aurora Cab Co.) back to the village, or, have an E-Bike waiting for you. We’re happy to help you set up any of the above options to make the walk just right for you.
