Fishing Adventure Lake Wanaka - 6 Hours

Take your fishing skills to new heights on this scenic six-hour Lake Wanaka adventure. You will venture to remote fishing spots, quiet coves, and deep, clear waters while being surrounded by stunning mountain views. Guided by a local fishing pro, you will try a variety of techniques, from trolling and spinning to jigging and using downriggers to reach the cooler depths, reeling in iconic fish such as trout or salmon.

The boat's electric trolling motor keeps the ride quiet and eco-friendly, so you can fully enjoy nature without disturbing noise. Add an optional locally made lunch for the ultimate lakeside break and take home your fresh catch for another delicious meal later. Whether you are a keen angler or a first-timer, this full-day charter is the best way to experience nature and reel in the rewards of Lake Wanaka.
