Discover the best of Aotearoa’s fishing scene with our exceptional Lake Tekapo fishing tours. We have some of the best fishing in the world, with both trout and salmon in abundance. The Tekapo Hydro Canal offers the chance to catch world-record-size fish, and the surrounding lakes and rivers provide opportunities to catch trout and salmon in a stunning scenic setting.

The colour of the lake is what people usually talk about first. The intense turquoise comes from the way fine particles of rock, which ancient glaciers have ground down, scatter the sunlight. In some places, it appears pale and milky, but in others, it deepens into a rich blue. It changes as the light moves across the sky. Mountains surround the lake, and the entire area exudes a sense of calm and tranquillity, making it a truly special place to explore and fish!
