New Zealand’s waters are home to a variety of fish species, including snapper, kingfish, and more. Your guide will take you to the best fishing spots based on the season and conditions.
Food isn’t provided; we recommend bringing your snacks and beverages to stay fuelled throughout the day. There are lots of great bakeries, coffee shops and a few supermarkets in Mangawhai that can be options. We can also help you arrange for lunch or soft drinks and water upon request at the time of booking.
When departing Mangawhai Heads or Marsden Cove our Northland Fishing Charters typically last between 4-8 hours, depending on the package you choose and the weather conditions on the day. We can also arrange for longer trips if you’re looking for more adventure!
To help prevent seasickness, stay hydrated, eat a light meal beforehand, focus on the horizon, and consider motion sickness remedies like ginger, wristbands, or medication. If using sea sickness medication, it is advised by the manufacturers to take it a day in advance. Read the labels carefully.
If you would like to bring anyone under the age of 12, please speak with us first so we can make sure we can safely accommodate you and your guests, or suggest the best options to suit you.
Your safety is our priority. We reschedule or refund if conditions aren’t safe.
