Three-hour guided fishing trip on Lake Wānaka for trout and salmon, with gear, instruction and views of Roys Peak and Mount Aspiring.

Tour Overview

Spend three hours on Lake Wānaka, casting for trout and salmon in a setting framed by alpine peaks. This guided fishing trip is designed for all skill levels, with expert instruction and top-quality gear provided, so you can focus on learning techniques such as trolling and downrigging while enjoying time on the water.

The boat uses an electric trolling motor, creating a quiet, steady ride that suits both fishing and the calm atmosphere of the lake. As you move across the water, you’ll have clear views of Roys Peak, Mount Aspiring, and the Twin Peaks of Treble Cone, all named landmarks that give this trip a strong sense of place.

Small group numbers, with a maximum of six people, help keep the experience focused and relaxed. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are included, and departures are available in the morning, afternoon, and in summer, the evening.

This is a practical, well-supported way to fish one of New Zealand’s best-known lake destinations. Whether you are new to the sport or already comfortable with a rod in hand, the combination of local guidance, quiet travel on the lake, and time spent fishing beneath Roys Peak and Mount Aspiring makes for a clear, grounded Lake Wānaka experience.
