Fantastic trip. A must do and thoroughly enjoyable. Well looked after. Natasha was our guide and extremely knowledgeable. And a keen ear for birdsong. We got to see nearly all the big ticket items, cheeky Robins, Kaka, Kakariki, Weka, Tieke and Mohua. Just the Kiwi kept themselves hidden. Also RealNZ were very flexible and easy to deal with, as our first attempt was cancelled due to poor weather. Easily re-booked for the next day at The Red Barn. Service was fantastic
Loved it!!!

What a fabulous experience. Everything so well organized. All we had to do was turn up. All the Real NZ people were fantastic from the trip on the boat to the walk itself. Heavy rain the night before had us a bit concerned but we had no reason to be. Our guide Jan was just brilliant. We saw a saddleback and sea lion amongst other amazing wildlife. We learnt so much. Highly recommend.
For a quality Ulva Island experience choose a different provider

The trip felt rushed, spent too much time going to the island and not enough time on the island itself. In 2023 we took a similar tour from another tour company and had a great experience with nearly a half day which gave us lots of time to see more bird life and with a smaller group. Tour group was too large, could not hear the tour guides if you were not next to them. The guides know their stuff, and are friendly, but just too big a group with too little time. If you want a quality experience on Ulva I would shop around and choose a different provider. I will not recommend this to friends or family. And frankly this is the most disappointing trip I have had with RealNZ excursions. Others have been very good
Beautiful peaceful Island

We were taken on a lovely guided walk on the island. Bevan was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable with regards to the flora and fauna. Unfortunately there were not many birds around- but that’s wildlife for you!
