All our prices are for
one or two anglers meaning the total price is the same whether there is one
or two of you - so if there are two then split the price in half if you
are paying separately. We also cater to larger groups - price on application. Some of our accommodations can take up to 4 people at no extra charge but
it does normally mean a bit of turn taking with the fishing so we would
normally recommend two guides for this but are happy to take up to four
with one guide at no extra charge if you want.

Licenses
There are two different licensing bodies in New Zealand. Department Of Conservation covers Lake Taupo and tributaries and you can purchase these from us on the day of fishing. Back country and wilderness fishing is covered by Fish & Game and can be purchased on line by credit card from https://fishandgame.eyede.com/public/get_page.php prior to your trip or by calling the New Zealand free phone number 0800 542 3623 which costs an extra $5 - we will use this method on the day if you do not already have a license which will cost an extra $5/license.

Deposit
Not required for bookings of 1 or 2 days. A 20% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm bookings of 3 days or more - though this can be negotiated if the booking is well in advance or for other reasons you may feel reasonable. The reason for a deposit is simple - we are often booked out well in advance and should someone cancel at the last moment, we'll be unlikely to find a replacement booking having most likely already turned down several. Deposits can be paid securely over the internet and we will send you an invoice with a link to a secure site for payment. Payment is normally made via Paymate using Mastercard or Visa - Paymate is similar to PayPal but it works in NZ$.
