Fly-In Fishing

Fish where the boats can't go.

Land on flats, creeks, sandbars and beaches with no road and no ramp for hundreds of kilometres — and cast into water almost no one has ever fished.

Unpressured water

Beat the tide. Beat the crowd.

No long boat runs and no waiting on the ramp. We lift off and put you straight onto the bite — flats, creek mouths and stretches of coast that simply can't be reached any other way. You bring the gear; we know the spots, the tides and the timing.

The fishing

Chase the session, not the crowd

Cape York holds some of the best estuary and inshore fishing in the country — and the helicopter unlocks the parts of it that boats and 4WDs never see.

  • Barramundi, golden snapper, GTs, queenfish, mangrove jacks and more
  • Flats, creeks, river mouths and beaches with no other access
  • Fish the tide window, then move — no wasted hours travelling
  • Fishing gear and tackle can be arranged — just ask

How it works

You, your gear, and the esky

Tell us how many in the group and what you're chasing. We'll work out the flights, the spots and the timing around the tides — and get you, your gear and a cold esky out to the water and back.

  • Up to 3 passengers per flight in the Robinson R44
  • Half-day, full-day or multi-day trips
  • Pair it with a remote beach landing or a scenic leg on the way home
  • Want it bigger? See the Cape York Circuit — boat by day, base camp by night
