Situated 1km past the albatross colony, and based on a sprawling coastal sheep farm, Nature’s Wonders runs one-hour tours taking in Stewart Island shags, NZ fur seals and yellow-eyed penguins. The tour is conducted in ‘go-anywhere’ Argos vehicles and is an exciting combo of improbable scenery and wildlife adventure.
