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 one of the most premium private charter experiences 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.

Our trips are fully private (max 6 guests), professionally run, and tailored to get you into the action — fast. No experience needed, just a sense of adventure.

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 conditions and the best bite.

Why Choose Eco Adventures

This isn't a 'hope for the best' charter.

With serious time on these waters, Captain Johnny knows how to read conditions, find fish, and put you in the right place at the right time — whether that's working reefs, hunting bait schools, or pushing wide for pelagics.

Our high-performance vessel cruises at up to 30 knots, meaning we don't sit around — we go where the fish are.

Every trip is run with intent: more time on the fish, more shots at quality, and a better chance at landing something memorable.

What You Can Catch

This fishery is world-class for a reason.

Expect quality snapper, powerful kingfish, trevally, kahawai, John Dory and gurnard — with genuine trophy potential.

When conditions line up, we head offshore to target game species including tuna, marlin, and mahi mahi.

Whether it's your first fish or your biggest ever — this is where PBs happen.

What's Included

Everything is dialled in and ready to go.

Premium rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and ice are all onboard. We'll often catch fresh live bait on the way to maximise your chances.

We also provide light refreshments (water and soft drinks), and you're welcome to BYO or arrange catering for a more premium day.
