From May through the first week of October (based on availability) we also offer half day fishing charters for NZ $400/person.  The schedule for our half day trips varies, so please contact us in advance to book in or inquire with us at Sea Change during the months from May to early October and we can confirm our availability.

A normal morning out will be to depart beach at 6.30 am and troll to GT fishing sites or deep water jigging sites and back at beach 10 to 10.30am for breakfast.

Afternoon fish will depart at 2.30 pm and go straight to fishing sites, either casting or jigging and return to beach 6.00 to 6.30pm for drinks and dinner.

Anglers are advised to bring your own gear and lure selections, our resident fishing guide and co-owner, Gordon, can advise on lure selection or lures are available for purchase at Sea Change.

Fishing gear is available for hire at $30 per trip and any broken rods by not following direction will be charged at replacement cost. 

FAQs

1. To get to Sea Change you will need to fly to the main island of Tongatapu via Auckland, Sydney or Fiji.  You then need to fly from the main island to Ha’apai (call sign HPA) via Lulutai Airlines – which is a short 30 to 45 minutes flight. When you make a booking with us we will provide information
   on how to book your flights with Lulutai.

2. Lulutai has a baggage limit of one carry-on at 7 kgs, and one checked bag at 23 kgs.

3. We can provide fishing rods, lures and bait – but you are welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer.

4. Please bring wet weather gear in case it rains or is chilly.  Also bring sunscreen, mozzie spray, a torch, a good hat and polarised sunglasses.  Also please carefully pack and check all your essential items including medicines as we are remote and there are no local shops.  We do have first aid kits, but you may want to bring some basic antiseptics to apply to any cuts or scratches, etc to prevent infections.

5. We can cater to basic diets but are not set up for food allergies as our kitchen may have food cross-contamination.  Please let us know in advance if you
   have any special dietary needs.

6. Daily fishing trips run for approximately 6 hours and are weather dependent.  We serve lunch and snacks on the boat.

7. Our all-inclusive meal plan covers breakfast, lunch and a 2-course dinner.
