🚙🎣 Why 4WD Fly Fishing is the Ultimate Queenstown Adventure

Only 7 more sleeps until opening day on the rivers!! Who’s getting excited?! 🙌 The start of river season is one of the best times of year in Queenstown — the trout are hungry, the rivers are fresh, and the adventures are endless.

And what better way to celebrate than with a 4WD Fly Fishing trip? This unique experience combines the thrill of off-road exploration with the serenity of casting into untouched alpine rivers, making it the ultimate adventure for anyone wanting more than the standard Queenstown experience.


🌿 Off the Beaten Track

Unlike lake charters close to town, our 4WD fishing trips take you deep into remote valleys and alpine rivers. With a rugged 4WD, we’re able to access private spots far away from the crowds — the kind of places where trout thrive in crystal-clear waters.

It’s not just a fishing trip — it’s a journey through some of the most spectacular backcountry scenery in New Zealand.


🎣 A True Adventure Experience

  • Fly fishing in remote rivers surrounded by towering mountains

  • Local NZPFGA certified guides teaching you expert casting techniques

  • Wild trout waters where patience and skill are rewarded

  • Flexible trips for both beginners and experienced anglers

Whether you’re trying fly fishing for the first time or chasing your personal best trout, this trip is tailored to you.


🇦🇺🇳🇿 Perfect for Aussies & Kiwis

Many Aussies and Kiwis come to Queenstown for skiing ⛷️ or hiking 🚶 — but a 4WD Fly Fishing adventure is the perfect way to add something truly different to your itinerary.

  • Aussies love the “road trip” feel with off-road exploring.

  • Kiwis appreciate the hidden rivers only locals know about.

  • Both get to experience a side of Queenstown that few visitors ever see.


📸 Memories Beyond the Catch

It’s not just about the fish (though hooking a wild rainbow or brown trout in pristine waters is unforgettable). It’s about the stories, the scenery, and the sense of discovery.

Many guests say it’s the highlight of their Queenstown trip — even above bungy jumping or the ski slopes.

  • 30 years of guiding experience (Est. 1995)

  • Queenstown’s largest fishing fleet & guiding team

  • NZPFGA certified guides
