Furhana was an amazing experienced and knowledgeable guide who was very passionate about making sure everyone had a really good experience. She keeps the group under control so that people don’t make noise and therefore scare the kiwis and birds away which I really appreciated. I would really highly recommend Ruggedy Range. We did the Kiwi spotting and Ulva island with them and they were far better than the other tour we did on Steward Island with another company.

Furhana really went the extra mile for me and our group of 6. She drove us around till well past midnight to ensure that we saw a kiwi on a windy Stewart Island night. Her commitment to her customer is second to none and her ground knowledge comes through. Highly recommended!

We chose the Ruggedy Range four hour tour of Ulva Island. It cost a little more than some of the shorter tours, but well worth it. Furhana led our party through the majesty of the pristine rainforest, ears and eyes attuned to the environment. She knew every birdcall, every tiny plant, every massive tree, and her knowledge and passion flowed out and into us all. My few photographs are a poor show. There were many more birds, some of them literally a metre away, including a saddleback, and a robin Furhana charmed down from the trees. She paid careful attention to each member of the group, making certain everyone had a good view of everything. She made sure we trod quietly in the wilderness, respected the birds and plants, were one with the forest. And after, as we bounced across the bay in the water taxi, she encouraged us to sing, tell stories, entertain the boat driver, who rewarded us by pointing out a trio of blue penguins. I left a half block of hazelnut chocolate for her. We discovered Furhana loves chocolate!

Done! Rakiura Track, Stewart Island. Three days of hills (many, many, many “undulations”), valleys, streams, beaches, forests, sunshine, mist, rain, and mud. Not to mention the numerous stories, jokes, and outright fabrications shared amongst our small group of eight wonderful companions. We were a mixed group - two in their 40s, two in their 50s, two in their 70s, and one in his 80s. The track is quite tricky at times and is certainly a test of fitness and stamina. But, accompanied by our Ruggedy Range guide, Furhana, we were in excellent hands. Some of us also went to Ulva island the day after completing the track. Again, with Furhana, we saw so much that we might otherwise have missed (including the afternoon kiwi!). Many thanks to our very professional guide, Furhana, and Ruggedy Range for making it all such a marvellous experience.

Great experience. We did several trips with Ruggedy Range - kiwi spotting, Ulva Island and a full day walk. Furhana is very professional and very knowledgable. Would definitely recommend
