The ultimate fishing adventure

This is a really fantastic day out for up to four people. It is an unusual combination of a sea fishing trip, river fishing, jet boating and sight seeing. All equipment and fishing licences are provided and a picnic lunch is included. Even experienced fishermen enjoy this exciting trip!

This is a full day’s guided excursion and is particularly suited to those fishermen wishing to include partners or family in their New Zealand fishing experience - the fun of the catch is guaranteed to everyone!

Times are flexible but we recommend an early start. Begin with an exciting jet boat ride from the mouth of the picturesque Waiau river. Head out to sea, over the river bar and through the surf exploring the rugged and spectacular Kaikoura coast.

You will anchor above a small reef and here fish for blue cod and other sea fish. Everybody catches a fish! Your fish are filleted by the guide and will be freshly cooked for your dinner by the Claremont chef.

Check the guide's lobsterpots for crayfish and return to the river via a seal colony. You may see hector dolphins and may even be fortunate enough to also spot a sperm whale. Back in the river, depending on the season, there are opportunities for fishing for both trout and salmon.

Part of this enthralling experience is the thrill and the excitement of an amazing jet boat ride. You will travel 30km up a “braided” Canterbury river through pristine uninhabited countryside stopping to fish at likely spots along the way.

Advanced booking is essential.
