The ultimate fishing and scenic cruise trip on Lake Wanaka

Fish & Cruise Wanaka is a family business and operates year-round, giving you the chance to enjoy the lake in comfort with our experienced skippers, father and son David and Courtney.    Lake Wanaka is a sparkling gem in the heart of the Southern Alps – a vast body of crystal-clear water fed by glacial streams and fringed with native bush, hidden beaches and snowcapped mountains.

Whether it’s the hot summer sun, the spectacular autumn colours, the snow-capped mountains, or the early warmth of spring, we can take you to one of Lake Wanaka’s picturesque islands or help you catch an elusive salmon, rainbow or brown trout.
