our heritageFroM tHe 13tH CeNtury the islands rich resources of native flora and birds, seafood and that very special delicacy, the titi (sooty shearwater/ Muttonbird ) provided a bountiful harvest for Maori.
early in the 19th century explorers, sealers, missionaries, miners and settlers from all corners of the world made their mark on the island. Marriage with local Maori women created strong family and cultural links to rakiura.
sawmillers, boat builders and fishermen followed. the islands population grew, stabilized and settled, mainly around the edges of Paterson inlet and the heads of Halfmoon and Horseshoe Bays, and in short-lived ventures at Port William, Port Pegasus and Maori Beach.
in the 1920s new arrivals came from Norway as part of the rosshavet whaling enterprise. those who chose to stay permanently added another thread to the interesting tapestry of nationalities living on stewart island.
today little remains of those wider scattered settlements and the enterprises which fostered their establishments. Fishing, aquaculture, tourism and conservation are the main pursuits which now support the islands population of 400 people. this affirms the natural attributes of the islands qualities which first attracted Maori and europeans to its shores.

ULVA ISLANDUlva islaND is a bird watchers paradise. situated in Paterson inlet this open island sanctuary is a short water taxi trip from Golden Bay. the island has well maintained tracks providing easy access to diverse birdlife, lush forest and beautiful beaches.
Managed by the Department of Conservation (DoC), with the support of the ulva island Charitable trust, the island is predator free although a brief re-invasion of Norway rats in 2010 highlights how easily bio-security standards can be breached. Before departing for ulva visitors are urged to thoroughly check all equipment, including footwear, to ensure they are not unwittingly transporting stowaways, particularly weed seeds and rodents, to the island. Please respect the wildlife, especially Kiwi. Do not approach any wildlife within 5 metres or disturb them in any way.
an informative self guiding booklet is available from DoC, and local retailers, for independent visitors. Guided trip and tour group options are also available. Contact local operators for details. www.ulvaisland.org
