Underwater Explorer Cruises

Stewart Island Cruises & Tours

Stewart Island is famous for its pristine, clear waters and rich marine life.  Enjoy superb underwater viewing from the Mollymawk, our semi-submersible vessel as you cruise in sheltered Halfmoon Bay. 

As you explore below the waterline, you will see diverse fish species, sea tulips, lush kelp forests and shellfish through the large viewing windows.

Drifting through lush kelp forests, across sandy bays and along the rocky foreshore beneath the water’s surface is a magical adventure for all ages.  

Our on board nature guide provides detailed information on the different species and is happy to answer your questions. Tours depart from Stewart Island Visitor Terminal.
