Whaler’s Base History Tour
Discover a little-known part of Stewart Island’s fascinating history: between 1923 and 1933 the Ross Sea Whaling Company of Norway made 9 expeditions to Antarctica while using a base in Paterson Inlet. The ‘Whaler’s Base’ was used to repair the whale chasers in between seasons.
Whaler’s Base History Tour
Can't rate these guys highly enough. We had heard about the historic whalers base at Prices Point. Our skipper was brilliant - so informative on all the history of the area but also taking the time to stop and let us photograph some nesting birds (Spoonbills - awesome sight in their own right!).
He left us to the walk at our own pace and was waiting for us at Millers beach. It was a truly amazing trip. Coincided with my birthday and made it one of the best birthday memories to date.
Thanks heaps to the two Matts - owner and skipper. Wonderful experience!
