Lake Wakatipu Queenstown: 6 hour Fishing Adventure
Overview
What makes the 6-hour Queenstown fishing adventure truly unique is the rare chance to fish in one of the world’s most breathtaking alpine landscapes—Lake Wakatipu, framed by The Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and Walter Peak. With six full hours on the water, you’ll have time to try multiple fishing techniques like trolling, spinning, jigging, and using downriggers to target trout and salmon in both shallow and deep waters.
Our premium boat is fitted with a quiet electric trolling motor, offering a smooth, eco-conscious ride that keeps the experience peaceful and sustainable. With expert guidance and top-quality gear provided, this trip is perfect for those wanting more than a quick outing—it’s for those who want to truly connect with the lake, learn new skills, and chase their next big catch in comfort and style.
Limited to just six passengers, it’s a relaxed and personal experience that feels more like fishing with friends than being part of a tour.
