Unmatched Access to World-Class Fishing An Unparalleled Journey

Immerse yourself in the pristine wilderness of Taupo as you navigate through secluded rivers and untouched landscapes.

Our rafting fly fishing trips offer an exclusive adventure combining the joy of drifting on languid swells and the thrill of white-water rafting, with the serenity of world-class fly fishing.

Some of the incredible rivers of New Zealand’s North Island aren’t accessible by foot, or helicopter – that’s where our trusty rafts come in! We set off down the river, enjoying a paddle along gentle eddies, or adventurous rapids, until we reach calm, picturesque pools, untouched by man, teeming with trout.

After you’ve had your fill of fishing action, we continue on, down the river for a bit more adventure to access our collection point.
