I went to Stewart Island a few years back, and it’s a wonderful place. The bush, bird life, sea, and locals combined into an extraordinary experience. Making this available and affordable for people in a sustainable way is a tremendous opportunity and challenge for YHA.

Hi everyone, Well we did it, and it was absolutely brilliant.? We had a great crew along for the ride, and enjoyed ourselves immensely - bodies not battered or bruised at all.? The weather was relatively kind - mostly tail winds, and only a couple of days of rain (sleet, hail...) out of the six days in total.? Riding the Rimutaka's turned out to be an absolute highlight. Check out the team's blog for more details and photos if you haven't seen it already... www.stewartislandproject.blogspot.com? Thank you all for your terrific support - the fundraising has been a real boost to getting the Stewart Island project off the ground for YHA.? If you would like to know or contribute more in any way, just let Coral know.?
