Big Bay Tour

Big Bay Flight
Landing on the beach
at Big Bay

This is the ultimate true wilderness experience and will appeal to those clients who want to get away from it all. Big Bay is on the West Coast about 15 minutes flying time north of Milford Sound. It is a huge bay of golden sand and large breakers, ideal for surfing. We can land on the beach at low tide. The only access to Big Bay is either by air, sea or a four day walk. Big Bay only comes alive during whitebating season, when the few huts are occupied. The rest of the time there is only the occasional tramper or hunter passing through.
