Fiordland Wilderness
Full Day of Guided Wilderness Fly Fishing
$1200 (1-2 Anglers)
The Fiordland Wilderness streams offer some of the most untouched and ruggedly beautiful places in the world to pursue trout with a fly rod but they are not for the faint hearted.
The Fiordland weather can be unpredictable, with some parts of the region receiving an average of 7 meters of rainfall a year! Combine that with; low trout densities (in the 5-20 fish per km range), the most ferocious sandflies in the country and very physically demanding terrain, it’s no wonder that our wilderness trips are best suited to very experienced anglers who have a good level of fitness.
The majority of these locations require boat, floatplane or helicopter access, which varies in price depending on the fishing location.
Additional transport costs
Helicopter access - starting at ~$2,500-$3,500 return trip
Boat access - starting at ~ $1,995 return trip
Overnight camping option - Get better value for money out of the helicopter or boat costs by spending a night camping or staying in rustic huts and fishing for 2 days. Priced upon request.
