FIORDLAND NEW ZEALAND HELI TRIP

January 4-11, 2027 / 1 slot available

$9,400 USD   SINGLE ROOM AND SHARED GUIDE

There was a waiting list for this trip in 2026 and it went fast. If anyone feels like getting away immediately after the holiday season, we have one slot remaining on my Fiordland, New Zealand Heli Trip in early January 2027. This is an exceptional way to kick off the New Year—combining world-class sight fishing with some of the most pristine, crystal-clear waters on the planet.

Te Anau, located near the southern end of New Zealand’s South Island, sits roughly two hours southwest of Queenstown and is widely regarded as the gateway to Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound. The region is famous for its dramatic mountain scenery, glacier-fed lakes, and postcard-perfect landscapes that seem to appear around every bend.

The week is fully guided, with each guest fishing six days total. Three days are guided helicopter fly-out days, allowing access to remote rivers that see very little angling pressure. The remaining three days are guided walk-and-wade days, with guides driving to carefully selected rivers and streams each morning.

Fishing is predominantly dry-fly, with proven patterns including cicadas, blowflies, Elk Hair Caddis, and Parachute Adams. Unlike regions farther north on the South Island that are exclusively brown trout fisheries, Fiordland offers a diverse mix of both Brown and Rainbow Trout. Some rivers hold healthy populations of both species, while others are dedicated brown or rainbow waters, providing excellent variety throughout the week.

For those looking to extend the adventure, additional fishing can easily be added either elsewhere on the South Island or by heading north to the North Island to round out a truly memorable New Zealand angling experience.
