Are all the blocks ballot blocks there? And is it a bit like the Fiordland blocks where you're super lucky to get one & can go years missing out?

They are not ballot blocks and are open to apply for all year round its just a small fee to book the block you want. You can either heli or fly to the west side of the island or catch the boat if you are hunting a block closer to Oban. For 4 of us to fly from Invercargill with all our gear is around $3000
