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.

We were a large group of friends first time on the island. Willam and ebony were fantastic skippers and happy to share there knowledge and passion of great barrier. Willam was professional as our skipper but relaxed which made for the perfect day on the water. Lunch was absolutely delicious at the marine education centre...and the carrot cake is a winner too. Steve at glenfern bird sanctuary was a top bloke sharing his enthusiasm and explaining all the hard work that him and his team do, well worth the add on to your trip.Thanks team for making our day exploring a memorable experience.

I would highly recommend this experience when you first get to Great Barrier Island. Firstly, it is a great way to get a sense of the island and topography and you will see dolphins and gannets. Secondly, Chris is the best skipper ever and a superb baker of amazing carrot cake. He is knowlegeable about the area, really friendly and made the day fabulous. In addition, he waited for me as my flight was delayed! Do not miss this!
