Guided Fly Fishing in Queenstown, New Zealand

Explore Maori Samurai is run by Henare and his son Jazz — two generations of fly fishing guides who have spent their lives walking the wild rivers and lakes around Queenstown. What began as quiet weekends together on the water has become a small, deeply personal guiding business built on patience, tradition, and respect for the fish.

We keep our parties small on purpose. No crowds, no convoys, no shortcuts. Just you, one of us, and a wild trout somewhere upstream — in water we have known for decades.

Whether it's your first cast or your hundredth season, our promise is the same: we'll put you on real fish, in real wilderness, with the kind of local knowledge that can only be handed down.
