Darwin-based HeliFish experiences provide unmatched access to remote, permit-only fishing locations. Spend less time travelling and more time fishing while witnessing some spectacular Top End landscapes and wildlife along the way.
Choose between half-day HeliFish, full day HeliFish, or the popular full-day HeliFish Pub Crawl Combo where you can celebrate catching the big one with a cold one!
Full Day Helifish: The full day Helifish focuses on the abundant floodplains of the Daly River region as well as the coastal creeks, estuaries and striking red cliffs area of Anson Bay. The scale and remoteness of these areas means trips rarely come across others and the fish catches are consistently high with a great variety. More clients have reeled in their bucket-list “metery” on this trip than on any other.
The trip includes all fishing equipment, professional helicopter pilot / fishing guide, lunch, cold boiled water and soft drinks. It is approximately 2 hours flying, 6 hours fishing and 5 locations.
Make your own way to Darwin Airport Helipad for departure at 8:15am with a return at 4:00pm. Cost: $1560.00pp (minimum 2 pax).
Half Day Helifish: The half day HeliFish focuses on fishing hot-spots to the North East of Darwin. Habitats visited include the isolated coastline, rivers and abundant estuaries of Cape Hotham, plus the billabongs, barrages and seasonal floodplains in permit only areas of the Mary River and Djukbinj National Park regions. Target species include barramundi, mangrove jack, threadfin salmon and more!
