Tawanui Campsite
7km off SH1 from Owaka.
Wonderful, quiet and remote campsite (toilet only).

Routeburn Track
We did a day walk - it was fine but in general we would recommend avoiding the big tramps/walks - there are great day walks all over this country!

A great experience and one not to be missed.

Toilets only but fantastic location and scenery with individual camp/van sites = very private.

One of the smaller boat operators.
Our tip would be to go for the quieter 4.30pm cruise.

Okarito Kiwi Tours
Thoughtful and extremely well-organised hunt for the Kiwi birds.
Ian is very involving and the whole evening is good fun for the patient birdseekers.
David - thanks for the review. Always a shock for me to see a low score like 8/10 ( I think that's my lowest ever ).

From Memory, David's night included hearing a bird awakening in a burrow close by, seeing it emerge, then seeing the bird going back down the burrow and re-appearing again.
10 minutes later the same bird called with another male calling about 20 minutes later.
