Kite Fishing Tours - Full Day
Our Award-Winning Kite Fishing Adventure Tours are a world-first and totally unique visitor experience that we are offering around Auckland.
Kite Fishing is one of the most fun and effective ways to catch big fish AND to experience the stunning natural beauty that the Auckland region has to offer!
As featured to millions of viewers in the BBC's "Extreme Fishing with Robson Green", on German national TV and in Europe's largest fishing magazine!
On our Auckland Kite Fishing Tours in New Zealand, we let the kite take our baited hooks way beyond the breaking waves to where the fish are. Join us for an adventure that you will find nowhere else in the world! Kite Fishing was pioneered right here in Auckland by Paul Barnes from Paul's Fishing Kites about 20 years ago and we work closely with his team to use only the best equipment available on our Kite Fishing Tours. You will go to a beautiful beach with us, learn about New Zealand Flora and Fauna, plus take home both fish and great memories! It is a perfect fishing tour for couples and small mixed groups, since you can combine fishing with swimming, relaxing, socialising, all with great lunch and drinks included! It is also great for larger groups, since it is very interactive and lots of fun.
Your kite fishing adventure begins when we collect you from your Auckland city accommodation. If you are staying outside Auckland city we will be able to arrange a meeting place with you, prior to your tour with us.
Learn about types of bait and what is good for catching certain species of fish that are suitable for catching fish using kites.
Travel in comfort in our TIME Unlimited Tours luxury 4WD as we transport you through some spectacular scenery to the designated fishing spot. Along the way we will stop at scenic vantage points so that you can take some photos. You will be fishing at one of our favourite fishing spots on a gorgeous beach where we are proud of our excellent kite fishing success and we intend to keep it that way!
When we get to the beach we walk for up to 30 minutes to get to the kite fishing spot. We then unpack and prepare the gear for the exciting process of getting the gear up to 2km out to sea!
The fishing kite silently and gracefully pulls the hooks further out than you could ever go by casting with a fishing rod. After some time, depending on the location and the weather conditions, we retrieve the line and the kite. Now the most exciting part – seeing the fish splashing around as the kite is pulled back in! Fish such as Snapper, Kingfish, Gurnard, Kahawai, Trevally, John Dory and even Sharks can be caught in this way. While we do support sustainable fishing practices, any fish that are within the legal limits can be kept by our guests.
An extensive lunch, snacks and hot/cold drinks are provided and you will also get the opportunity to have a swim.
At the end of the day we return you and your prized catch to your pick-up location. And if you don't know how to fillet or prepare your fish, we can do it for you!
You need to be able to walk for at least 30 minutes along an easy path to and along a beach in order to reach the fishing spot. We welcome children on these tours but do ask for them to be supervised by an adult at all times.
