 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an awesome day out fishing with Fish Tekapo. Our guide, Tim, took us out targeting brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon. He’s a super friendly, laid-back, and knowledgeable angler who clearly loves what he does.

Tim was happy to share his tips and knowledge about lake/river/canal fishing in NZ and he genuinely went out of his way to make sure we had an awesome experience and got great value from the trip. Inspired me to get back into fishing.

Highly recommend for anyone keen on a memorable day out in Tekapo with a local legend.
