Lake Hāwea Private Trout & Salmon Fishing – 3 Hours

New3 hFree cancellationBy Catch a Fish - Small-group and private fishing charters on Lake Wānaka, Lake Hāwea and Lake Wakatipu / Queenstown

About this activity

Your boat and skipper are reserved exclusively for your group of up to six guests, giving you a more personal experience and the freedom to shape the trip around what you want from your time on Lake Hāwea.

Whether you’re a couple, family, group of friends or keen anglers, your skipper can adapt the pace, level of guidance and fishing techniques to suit your experience and interests. Beginners can have plenty of hands-on help, while experienced anglers can spend more time talking techniques and exploring different approaches where conditions allow.

Once fishing, our fully electric trolling motor means no engine noise. Its GPS route-following system can automatically guide the boat along the fishing route, giving your skipper more time to focus on your group, help with the fishing and share his local knowledge.

Quality fishing gear, a comfortable purpose-built boat, locally sourced treats and cold drinks complete a relaxed, private experience on Lake Hāwea.
