Sample Adventures to Inspire Your Crew

Get out of the house and into the wild. Fly into remote huts, trek untouched bush, paddle rivers, or tear along hidden beaches on a quad. Choose your own pace, chase seasonal highlights, and see the West Coast like a local. Small crews, big country, zero crowds — these examples show how your next adventure could hit hard, stay real, and be all yours.

Mountain Adventure

3 Nights / 4 Days

Day 1: Roll into Haast and meet your crew. Gear up and hop on the heli for a wild drop into a remote wilderness hut deep in the bush. Settle in, explore the surroundings, and build your first fire. Kick back, share a yarn, and get ready for the days ahead.

Day 2: Lace up your boots and hit hidden trails. Track deer, try fishing in pristine rivers, or just soak in the untouched landscape. Evening is all about cooking your catch over the fire, swapping stories, and staring at the stars.

Day 3: Morning trek and fly-fishing for trout, afternoon exploring more secret corners of the bush. Push a little further, take in the views, and finish the day with another fire-cooked feast and proper yarns with your crew.

Day 4: Wrap up the adventure with a jetboat ride back to Haast. Leave tired, stoked, and full of stories — the kind you’ll still be talking about long after the trip ends.

From $4,200 per person, all inclusive (excluding drinks)

Coastal Adventure

3 Nights / 4 Days

Day 1: Roll in to Haast and meet your crew. Gear up and hit the quads for a cruise along untouched beaches. Watch the sun dip over the Tasman Sea while you try your hand at surfcasting, then settle in for the evening around a fire.

Day 2: Board a diving and fishing charter out of legendary Jackson Bay. Reel in big fish, dive for cray, or simply soak in the raw coastal scenery. Bring your catch back to the hut and cook it over the fire while sharing laughs and yarns with your crew.

Day 3: Spend the day packrafting rivers, exploring secret beaches, or just chasing the seasonal highlights — whitebait, bluefin tuna, or offshore lobster runs. End the day with a beach fire, swapping stories, and watching the stars over the wild coast.

Day 4: Wrap up the adventure and head back to Haast, tired, stoked, and carrying memories (and maybe some seafood) to last a lifetime.

From $3,800 per person, all inclusive (excluding drinks)

Allround Adventure

3 Nights / 4 Days

Day 1: Arrive in Haast and meet your crew. Get settled into your base, check out the gear, and kick off the trip with a relaxed evening — maybe a small hike or fire-side yarns to plan the days ahead.

Day 2: Rise early for a deer hunt in the bush, then spend the afternoon fly-fishing for trout in crystal-clear rivers. Explore hidden trails and take in the untouched landscapes, finishing the day cooking your catch over the fire.

Day 3: Head to the coast for quad rides along remote beaches, surfcasting at sunset, or diving for cray and fish. Discover secluded spots few ever see and end the day with stories and laughs around the fire.

Day 4: Wrap up with a mix of river, bush, and coastal activities — a last chance to soak in South Westland before heading home, tired, stoked, and loaded with memories.

From $3,600 per person, all inclusive (excluding drinks)

Father & Son Adventure

3 Nights / 4 Days

Day 1: Kick off with quads along remote beaches and a sunset surfcasting session. Settle in at the hut, cook dinner together, and share your first yarns by the fire — the adventure has officially begun.

Day 2: Rise early for a heli drop deep into the mountains. Spend the day learning hunting basics, navigation, and classic outdoor skills. Build a fire, settle into a wilderness hut, and take in the epic alpine views.

Day 3: Get the packrafts ready and drift down alpine rivers through the Mt Aspiring National Park. Explore hidden corners, challenge yourselves in the wild landscape, and follow the river all the way to the coast. Evening stories and fireside laughs wrap up the day.

Day 4: It’s time to hit the ocean and show your young bloke how to grab his first cray. Celebrate the catch, soak in the wild coast one last time, and head home tired, stoked, and with memories that’ll last a lifetime.

From $4,500 per person, all inclusive (excluding drinks)

When the Wild Calls

Time it right and hit the epic stuff — from stags roaring in the bush, to hauling in whitebait, chasing bluefin tuna, or diving for lobsters. Here’s what’s going down in South Westland, month by month:

Roar Hunting (Stag Season)

March to May

Hit the bush during peak rut. Track stags, learn the land, and witness the wild like locals do. Big country, big stories.

Whitebait Season

September to November

Short, mad-packed riverside action. Grab your nets, chase the shoals, and bring home the catch. Pure Kiwi tradition.

Bluefin Tuna Fishing

January to April

Escape into the wild with fishing and hunting experiences, whether solo, with friends, or on a father-son trip—upgrade with a helicopter for the ultimate adventure.

Searun Salmon

January to March

Unplug from screens and reconnect with nature through group challenges, adventure activities, and personal growth in a distraction-free environment.

Chamois & Tahr Hunt

May to October

Alpine hunts for chamois and tahr. Push yourself in rugged high country, enjoy the silence, and celebrate at the fire.

Fly Fishing

All year around

Cast your line in crystal-clear rivers, chase wild trout, and end the day swapping stories by the fire.
