Murray Downie Flyfishing

The Whirinaki Rainforest - a majestic, ancient and spiritual realm. Join us for a guided walking journey into the heart of this vast, Jurassic, podocarp rain forest. 

This picturesque, well-groomed 18-hole course is on flat, easy walking land and is adjacent to the Tarawera River with mountain views and bird life adding to the enjoyment for players. 

Shuttle service to the Pakihi Track and other stop off points, or mountain bike down after being dropped off by helicopter. Cycle hire, cruisers, tandems, road and mountain bikes.

Everyone welcome, from first-time anglers to experienced fishermen. Because a day fishing is never a day wasted!
