Fishing Charters

Experience Trout Fishing on Lake Taupō 

Get out on the water and experience one of Lake Taupō’s most iconic activities with a private fishing charter aboard Loloma or 38 South. Whether you’re a keen angler or picking up a rod for the first time, a day fishing on the lake is about much more than the catch. 

Enjoy the scenery, spend time with friends or family and experience the thrill of fishing for Lake Taupō trout, with two distinctive vessels offering different ways to enjoy your time on the water. 

Fishing, Cruising and a Great Day on the Lake 

Make fishing the focus of your charter or incorporate it into a wider Lake Taupō adventure. 

Head out with your group, find a promising spot and spend time fishing while taking in the surrounding lake scenery. Depending on your charter, you can also add scenic cruising, swimming, food and drinks to create a relaxed half-day or full-day experience. 

Choose Loloma for a classic, social fishing trip with a larger group, or 38 South when you want to combine fishing with premium private cruising and plenty of comfort onboard.
