Big Dan Guiding Services

Great fun for the little ones. Trains generally run on Sundays from 10 am - until 3 pm, weather permitting.

We have the knowledge and aircraft to get you into the incredible, pristine, mountainous remote areas to hunt big stags and chase pigs.

Our experienced guide will transport you by Canadian canoe to abundant trout fisheries in the scenic rivers and lakes of the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

A popular spot known to locals as 'The Heads' where the Whakatāne River meets the sea.

Otarawairere is the hidden jewel of the Whakatāne-Ōhope area. This secluded beach is accessible only on foot or by kayak, but the trip is definitely worth the effort.

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

Join us for dolphin and seal swimming encounters with frequent penguin, sea bird and occasional whale sightings.

Your four-hour adventure with us includes a marine eco-tour circumnavigating Moutohora (Whale) Island followed by a scenic walk.
