Stewart Island Visitor Information Centre contains interpretive displays on the island's biodiversity, cultural history, and recreational opportunities. Visitors to the Rakiura, North West Circuit and Southern Circuit Tracks can obtain weather and track information, and purchase hut tickets or hut passes at the visitor centre.

Visitor centre staff can also assist with advice on transport and guided trips to Ulva Island and other tramping/hunting destinations, and air access to parts of the island. Information on hunting, the marine reserve and mataitai regulations can also be obtained.

For anyone seeking peace and tranquillity, Stewart Island is the ultimate spot. There are superb bush walks and great launch cruises around some of New Zealand's most beautiful coastline. The island's amazingly clear and clean waters make it a snorkelling and diving paradise. It may be remote, but Stewart Island is a natural wonder, with plenty to see and experience, especially for the adventurous.
