Learn about biodiversity, history and conservation of Rakiura, while following a theme of sustainability and effective ocean management . We will be visiting fragile, pristine, and undisturbed natural areas, ensuring we make zero impact by operating a small scale alternative to standard mass tourism.

Fern Gully Trail

Reviewed By KatherineTB - Wellington, New Zealand

This short walk is ideal with families... it was relatively easy, scenic, and protected. It was short enough that my husband did the Ryan's Creek track right afterwards since they were right next to each other.
