The Perfect Blend of Fishing and Scenery
Unlike crowded tours, these fishing charters keep the atmosphere welcoming and easy-going. Guests can bring their own food and drinks, while hot refreshments are provided to keep everyone comfortable. Whether you’re on deck casting a line or sitting back with a coffee, the day feels like a genuine New Zealand experience.
The boat’s design ensures there’s room for everyone to enjoy their time, no matter their fishing skill level. Families, solo travellers, and small groups all find the charter suits them perfectly. By the end of the trip, most guests leave with both a catch and lasting memories of Lake Mapourika’s peaceful charm.
