NEW ZEALAND FISHING VACATION
“Our trip was fabulous! I can’t think of a thing you should change. We both enjoyed the fishing. The variation of rivers around Taupo makes the fishing very interesting. The experience was top rate. I certainly would not hesitate to rebook or to recommend you to friends.”

Whether you just need a guide for a day, or you’re looking for a multi-day, all-inclusive package that includes everything you need – licenses, waders, rods, reels & flies, accommodation, meals & drinks, even taxes – FishinginNewZealand can customize a quote to meet your needs. If you’re a complete novice, we will match you with a patient guide who will teach you the basics of fly fishing and in all probability, deliver the exhilaration of catching your first fish on a fly rod.
Options include:
- Year-round fly fishing on Taupo rivers, including the Tongariro, Tauranga-Taupo, Hinemaiaia and Waitahanui rivers
- Raft fishing on the pristine Mohaka River (Oct 1 – April 30). Single-day or multi-day trips available
- Raft fishing on the upper Tongariro River (Dec 1 – May 31).
- Dry fly fishing on both Taupo and wilderness rivers (November – March)
- Boat fishing on Lake Taupo. This is a great way to combine fishing with sightseeing. The western bays of Lake Taupo are dramatic, with 500 foot cliffs and majestic waterfalls dropping straight into the lake. Add some fine New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and some smoked trout…
- Helicopter fly-ins to gin-clear wilderness rivers where you will be sight-fishing for resident rainbows and browns that may be 8 pounds+
- Overnight or multi-night stays at river cabins (see http://www.fishinginnewzealand.com/suites.htm). This can be a great option for those who want a more remote, wilderness setting, yet without the expense of helicopter access. Or, combine a night or two in the cabins with a few nights of luxury at Tauhara Sunrise Lodge.
