Lake Wānaka: 6 hour Fishing Adventure
Overview
Spend six unforgettable hours fishing on Lake Wānaka, one of New Zealand’s most iconic alpine lakes. With expert guidance and top-quality gear, you’ll target trout and salmon using a variety of techniques—trolling, harling, spinning, jigging, and downrigging.

Our boat is equipped with a quiet, eco-friendly electric trolling motor, allowing you to glide peacefully across the lake and soak in views of Roys Peak, Mount Aspiring, and Treble Cone.
