Reel in Local Knowledge with a Fishing Demo
After viewing the carvings, watch as the crew demonstrates how trout fishing is done on Lake Taupō—an activity deeply rooted in the region. You’ll learn why trout isn’t sold in restaurants and how catching your own is the only way to taste it. The live fishing demonstration adds a hands-on, educational twist to the scenic cruise.
With wheelchair and pram access, onboard amenities, a licensed bar and space for larger groups, the cruise is designed for comfort and inclusion. Kids can enjoy activities like colouring, treasure hunts and even steering the boat with the skipper. It’s a must-do experience that brings together lake life, learning, and lasting memories.
