Escape the crowds and chopper to an incredible remote location on Great Barrier Island or Coromandel for half a day of fishing! Fly over the stunning Hauraki Gulf and touch down at your chosen fishing spot, brimming with a diverse range of fish. All equipment, expert guidance and lunch included.
Calling all keen anglers! Be whisked away to a fisherman's paradise during this half day heli fishing trip to Great Barrier Island or Coromandel. Departing Albany, your pilot will take you over the islands of the Hauraki Gulf to your secret fishing spot for the day. The Hauraki Gulf and surrounding islands are known as an angler's favourite marine playground, as the sub-tidal reefs of the north east coastline and Great Barrier have a rich and diverse marine habitat. With top quality equipment and an expert fishing guide on hand, you'll have loads of fun reeling in species including snapper, kahawai and kingfish. Enjoy at least four epic hours of fishing and a delicious lunch, before being returned back to Auckland.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in.

If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
