Heli-Fishing - Great Barrier Island

Heli-Fishing Adventure Combines Aerial Views and Deep-Sea Angling in the Hauraki Gulf

Experience the thrill of Heli-Fishing with Heletranz, a unique adventure combining aerial sightseeing and world-class fishing in the Hauraki Gulf. Departing from Albany Heliport, guests are flown over stunning islands and coastal scenery, with occasional sightings of dolphins, whales, and stingrays along the way.

During the journey, passengers land at carefully selected fishing spots where they enjoy a full day of fishing for Snapper, Kahawai, and Kingfish. All equipment is provided, including top-quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait supplied by Heletranz, ensuring a complete and convenient fishing experience.

The adventure includes bottled water and a fisherman’s lunch, with the option for guests to bring their own beverages. The experienced pilot remains with the group throughout the five to six-hour trip, offering safety support and expert guidance to enhance the overall experience.

The heli-fishing experience also offers flexibility with optional stops at locations such as The Mussel Kitchen Coromandel or Waiheke Island for relaxation and reflection. Weather-dependent scheduling and strict passenger weight limits ensure safety and optimal performance, while fares include taxes but may vary due to fuel surcharges or extended flight time, making this a distinctive blend of fishing, adventure, and scenic flight.
