Sub-Antarctic Island Discovery on the Douglas Mawson

Discover the raw beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Australian and New Zealand sub-Antarctic Islands on this epic adventure! Witness the incredible birdlife on Stewart and Ulva Islands, spot the iconic brown kiwi (southern tokoeka) and friendly flightless weka. Feel the awe of Fiordland’s majestic deep Sounds. Hop into a zodiac and explore the rugged coastline of the Snares, home to the rare Snares crested penguin and buller’s albatross. As you head back north, you might visit the mystical Campbell Island. Here, boardwalks wind through flowering megaherb moors leading you to the nesting grounds of the southern royal albatross. On the Auckland Islands, wander through enchanting rātā forests and spot endemic mollymawks. Listen to tales of the sealers, settlers, and explorers who came before us.
