The Pacific Sub Antarctic Islands positively teem with wildlife – particularly seabirds, which nest here in their millions. Some islands are rarely visited – some are nature reserves which are never visited by tourists. Even these though, when viewed from zodiacs offer unforgettable sights. There are a wide range of organised activities possible on Stewart Island, which is closer to New Zealand than the others.
Some islands are places notorious for shipwrecks and where settlers tried to survive, they did not last. Snare Island is so named for its dangers.
On Campbell Island it rains for around 325 days a year. But, what enchanted islands they are, many being ice-free and have plants growing which are found nowhere else. Enthusiasts for bird-life are likely to be overwhelmed by the sheer number and variety seen here, particularly when birds leave their nests in the morning and return at night.
