HeliFishing

Unbeatable Top End fishing and flying.

Legendary adventures where only a helicopter can take you.

Keen for fishing the Top End like a true legend? With HeliFish, you’re straight out of Darwin and into the action – no long drives, just you, your better half or your mates, and a heli whisking you to permit-only, hard-to-reach fishing spots that most folks only dream about. More time reeling them in, less time stuck on the road, plus front row seats to some wild Top End scenery and critters along the way.

Take your pick: smash out a Half-Day HeliFish, go all in with a Full-Day sesh, or ramp up the fun on our famous HeliFish Pub Crawl Combo – where you can land a beauty and celebrate with something cold at the pub.

If you’re mad for barra, you want to be here right after the wet, between March and April, during the ‘run-off’. That’s when they’re really biting! But no worries if you miss it – there’s top fishing all year, with salmon, mangrove jack, and a stack more waiting for a crack at your lure including barramundis.

Our pilots will happily rig your gear, spin a yarn, share their best tips, and drop plenty of local know-how so you have the best chance at success. We’re all about looking after the fish and the waterways, so it’s catch and release – keeping the stock healthy for your next mission.

And if you wanna try your luck, hit the water during the NT’s Million Dollar Fish comp (October to March annually). If you snag a red-tagged barra worth $10,000, we’ll chuck another $10K your way! (T&Cs apply, of course.)

Don’t stress if you don’t have the right attire, as our merch range includes UV fishing shirts and fishing caps.  Grab it when you check in!

Just you and the mighty Barramundi!

Out where we go, you’re flat out seeing another soul – just you, us, and potentially a truckload of fish. The spots are that remote, the fish barely know what a lure is. Bust out your lucky stubby cooler, and test your mettle against the barra, salmon, and mangrove jack are waiting for you.

Seriously, every year, someone bags their dream “metery” (yep, a barra over a metre!) on a HeliFish trip. How good is that?
