The days are settled and getting a bit longer (maybe a bit chilly) and then you have the nice long evenings to chill out, yarn etc etc in the salloon of Elwing, kept warm by the heat of the diesel fireplace. Give it some thought, you deserve it, come aboard with us and take a breather!!

We’ve just added an upcoming voyages calendar and side-bar to this site. The idea being to make it obvious which adventure voyages are to where and when, and for whom.
Due to the visual nature of the layout, gaps which represent opportunities for ‘custom’ voyages, show up easily.
To accommodate the calendar style, we’ve redone the navigation to illustrate the relationships between voyage options and explanations of same.
Also recently Elwing Discoveries gained a Concession to operate on Dept. of Conservation land [Rakiura National Park], bordering the sea in the following areas, many of which have a distinct wilderness flavour:
Being just a small selection of what is possible!
Of significance to guests on Elwing is that as a Dept. of Conservation Concessionaire, Elwing’s crew, for example skipper and 1st mate, can guide and accompany trips on-shore, thus enriching the experience with local knowledge and interpretation.
Many of the above potential destinations are well within the scope of Elwing’s new overnight Stewart Island accommodation package – a distinct and unique way to spend the night on a mild and interesting adventure!
