What you can expect

Get ready to explore the deeper side of Lake Wakatipu on this six-hour fishing adventure in Queenstown. With a full day on the water, you'll reach hidden drop-offs, river mouths, and inlets that shorter trips can't get to in time. These remote locations are prime territory for catching wild trout and salmon when in season.

The professional gear and your expert guide will help you master a variety of fishing techniques, including trolling, spinning, jigging, harling, and using downriggers to target deeper fish. The quiet, electric trolling motor ensures a smooth and eco-friendly ride, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy fishing in these stunning natural surroundings. Soft drinks, snacks, and the option to upgrade to a gourmet local lunch are also available, making this trip as comfortable and rewarding as it is unforgettable.
