The Ultimate Backcountry Indulgence

The Luxury

The Fishing

Legendary Fishing, Effortlessly Reached

The pinnacle of New Zealand fly fishing. This package blends world-class sight-fishing with the finest accommodation in the country. It's an all-inclusive experience where the transitions are seamless, the service is refined, and the fishing is legendary.

The fishing gives nothing away to the wildest expedition, sight-casting to trophy wild browns on the South Island's most storied rivers, with the jet boat or 4WD putting you on untouched water in comfort.

Every detail is handled before you think of it. Your guide chooses the day's water to match conditions and your ambitions, so all you carry is the rod, and all you think about is the next fish.

We partner with exceptional lodges that offer a warm, comfortable retreat after a day on the water, with beautiful surroundings and excellent hospitality, the perfect balance of relaxation and wilderness immersion. Your time off the river is just as special as the fishing itself.
