Very positive experience. Generous hosts who obviously love their work. Cold day but blankets handed out and eco leaf instead of ticket. Watch out for wind direction and decide if you want shelter or spray. .Island has fauna and fllora in spades. Highlight was kiwi and sea lion forme. Guide book photos very useful. Choice of return times. Take food and drink.

20 return ticket on the ferry - the best way to explore the tracks, bays and birds of Ulva island. Ferry left on time, very quick and efficient.

You have to do this when you’re on Steward Island. I walked during the day and saw a kiwi It was very lucky but amazing!

Used Rakiura and his boat to ferry myself and a couple of other fellas to Abraham's Bay for hunting trip. I like this fella and his service. Nothing was a problem and was more than accommodating for the other two fellas whi decided to get an earlier pick up. Cost of the trip there and back was more than reasonable. Myself, I would use anyone else for future trips and in fact am already endeavouring to do so. 5 stars from me.

An amazing service. Ferry runs on time but will wait if they see you coming. Water taxi was amazing we used it several times - even got a piggy back ride to the dry sand on a beach landing. Highly recommended 10 out of 10.

Friendly, humourous skipper. Crossing is good value at 20 return and a little less bumpy than smaller water taxis. Both crossings were punctual. Ulva island is wonderful and worth taking your time.

Rakiura provided fantastic service. As it is winter and the ferry is only operating on demand, he went out of his way to take us across to the island. He was friendly and welcoming and was back exactly at the time we specified to pick us up. 10/10 recommend!

I made five trips to Ulva Island this week, (yes I am obsessed with the sanctuary) all of these crossings with Rakiura and Peter. They were not only very professional and helpful, but their love and respect for Ulva shines through. I can't recommend them highly enough and I thank them for making my time here so special.
