If you are contemplating visiting the Chatham Islands, Pitt Island is a must see. Flowerpot Bay Lodge offers beach front accommodation on Pitt Island for Couples, Families and Groups. Pitt Island is the second main inhabited Island in the Chatham Islands group, arguably one of the most remote holiday destinations in the world. Pitt Island is the first place in the world to see the sun rise each day and has some of the region’s most spectacular scenery, bird life, botany, geology, fishing, diving and hunting experiences.

Pitt Island is situated to the south of Chatham Island. Here you can you see such a variety of outstanding landscapes, gather and feast on seafood you can gather yourself without requiring a boat, hear your fill of birdsong then spot the source (sometimes endangered species), climb to the point that the sun shines first with the dawning of a new day, and from the same spot see the season's newest wandering albatross chick, lick your chops after a scumptious feed of wild pork, wild mutton or even weka! We can organise it for you.

We offer a huge variety of jet boating and wilderness adventure packages in Fiordland and Southland. Experience New Zealand's most daring and exhilarating jet boat ride.
