Splendid South: 7 Days of Fly Fishing & Luxury in New Zealand

Imagine a week designed around New Zealand’s most iconic trout waters—where every day’s fishing is matched with luxury stays, seamless travel, and curated experiences beyond the river.

Begin in Queenstown, the adventure capital, where you’ll settle into a boutique lakeside lodge. From here, enjoy a heli-access day trip to a remote backcountry river, guided by Isolation Outfitters and their exclusive Confidential River-Routing™ service—ensuring you’re on the right water, at the right time.

Travel north through the Southern Lakes to Wānaka, where crystal-clear rivers wind through golden tussock country. After a day on the water, unwind with a private vineyard dinner and panoramic alpine views.

Continue into the wild heart of the West Coast, staying at a remote eco-retreat surrounded by rainforest and glacial rivers. Here, fish for large, elusive brown trout in pristine waters, or join your partner on guided nature walks, glacier flights, and coastal wildlife encounters.

The journey concludes in the high country near Aoraki/Mt Cook, where glacial-fed streams and expansive mountain vistas set the scene for your final days on the water. Evenings are spent by the fire in a luxury lodge, reflecting on the fish of the day with a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir in hand.

Your final day comprises a scenic drive through the Canterbury pastoral country to the Christchurch airport.

This itinerary is just a glimpse of what’s possible. Every journey is handcrafted by Splendid South and Isolation Outfitters—seamlessly blending world-class fly fishing, river-routing and fly fishing concierge service, and New Zealand’s most unforgettable travel experiences.
