You do not need to have had any prior experience in the activities we offer. We take pride in helping you to achieve your goals or aspirations. We cater to a range of different fitness levels and can provide you with all the necessary knowledge to make your trip with us enjoyable.

The only Licence that is required is if you are taking part in our Fly Fishing Trips. This can be purchased through https://fishandgame.org.nz/licences/buy-a-licence/ or from our local Queenstown Hunting and Fishing store. If you cannot access these we can organise for you upon request.

We recommend bringing along your own essential equipment. We provide a list of items that is recommended to bring with each trip we offer. If you don’t have certain items then you have the option to hire from us.
