Make a short stop on land to breathe in the scent of the forests made up of century-old beech trees and let yourself be enchanted by their atmosphere and exceptional natural setting.

Ideally located near several of New Zealand's iconic trout fishing rivers, Blanket Bay was originally built to celebrate the passion of its owner, Tom Tusher, for fly fishing. From lakes to major rivers, from slow-moving pools to rapids and streams, you'll be spoiled for choice during this exciting activity. You will also have the opportunity to take a helicopter from the lawns of Blanket Bay and fly to the most remote rivers in the south of New Zealand. Here, you’ll be blown away by some of the best fly fishing spots in the world.
