Eco Adventures - Fishing Charters Mangawhai
Serious Adventure. World-Class Fishing. Real Results.
If you're chasing big fish, personal bests, and a proper offshore adventure — Eco Adventures delivers.
We run premium private charters in Northland, targeting some of New Zealand’s most productive waters. From trophy snapper to hard-fighting kingfish and pelagics offshore, this is fishing done properly.
Private trips (max 6 guests), professionally run, and built to get you into the action — fast. No experience needed.
Departing Mangawhai Heads (just over an hour north of Auckland), we access Bream Bay, the Mokohinau Islands, Little Barrier Island and out to Great Barrier Island — chasing the best bite.

Why Choose Eco Adventures
This isn’t a “hope for the best” charter.
Captain Johnny knows how to read conditions and put you on fish.
Our vessel cruises at up to 30 knots, so we go where the fish are — not wait for them.
More time on the fish, more shots at quality, better chances at something memorable.
________________________
What You Can Catch
Snapper, kingfish, trevally, kahawai, John Dory and gurnard — with real trophy potential.
When conditions line up, we head offshore for tuna, marlin, and mahi mahi.
This is where PBs happen.
________________________
What’s Included
Premium rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and ice are onboard. We often catch live bait on the way.
________________________
What to Bring
Keep it simple — hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and anything you’d like to eat or drink. Being on the water can make you hungry and thirsty, so come prepared.

Your captain
Mangawhai Heads, New Zealand
I've been on the water for as long as I can remember, but Eco Adventures is where it all came together. My background spans both corporate and creative worlds, mixed with years of international travel chasing surf, adventure, and time on the ocean. These days, I've channelled all of that into running premium fishing and ocean experiences, bringing people out onto the water, sharing local knowledge, and making sure every trip feels relaxed, safe, and genuinely memorable. For me, it's about more than just fishing; it's about helping people connect with the incredible coastline, islands, and marine life we're lucky to have here in New Zealand.
