Electric Experiences

Experience Lake Wakatipu in a quieter, more low-impact way with Catch a Fish’s “Peaceful Fishing” trip. Powered by an electric trolling motor, this one hour on-water experience removes the usual engine noise and fumes, creating a calm, undisturbed environment to enjoy the lake. Whether you're casting a line or simply taking in the alpine surroundings, it’s a unique opportunity to see how electrification can enhance time in nature and operate within a real tourism setting. With three times to choose from, it’s a fresh take on a classic Queenstown experience. Note: Fishing is optional. Fishing will only be available to those who already hold a valid licence. Guests who would like to fish can purchase a valid licence in advance through Fish & Game. You will be allocated a one hour trip at 10AM, 11:30AM or 1:30PM.
