Lake Hāwea: 6 hour Fishing Adventure
Overview
There’s something unforgettable about spending a full day on Lake Hāwea—a place where the mountains meet crystal-clear waters, and the only sounds are the hum of the reel and the splash of a fish breaking the surface.
On this 6-hour fishing adventure, you’ll go beyond the usual hotspots and explore remote corners of the lake that most never see. With expert guidance and top-quality gear, you’ll try your hand at a range of techniques—trolling, spinning, jigging, harling, and downrigging—to target trout and salmon where they thrive.
The boat’s electric trolling motor keeps the journey quiet and eco-friendly, so you stay immersed in the calm, wild beauty of the landscape. As you drift beneath Isthmus Peak and the Southern Alps, the experience becomes about more than just the catch—it’s about the stillness, the views, and the stories you’ll take home.
This isn’t just a fishing trip—it’s a true escape. Fewer people, more time, better spots, and memories that last a lifetime.
