The perfect day out
Wild Deer, Chamois, Pigs and Thar all dwell within the Canterbury region. There are many huts and sheltered places to camp in the area. Within 30-40 mins you could be in places rarely seen by other hunters. Our pilots can help plan suitable hunting locations for you and your group.
Fishing
Canterbury boasts excellent rivers for catching Trout and Salmon. Using a helicopter to get some of our back country rivers gives you access to fish that most people never get close to!
We can provide a fishing guide to assist you in your fishing adventures. Chappie Chapman is New Zealand famous when it comes to fishing, due to years of experience and extensive knowledge of the area and the sport.
