Our 1.30 pm ‘Taste of Taupo’ scenic lake excursions are identical to our 10.30 am morning cruises, with one little difference: we get to give our customers a ‘Taste of Taupo’!
When we get to Jerusalem Bay, our staff will discuss the trout fishing tactics used on Lake Taupo as you put out the lines.
There will almost always be a trout at the end of the line, which we will thinly slice and offer our customers sashimi style.
You may not be aware trout cannot be ordered in restaurants. Therefore the only way to enjoy trout is to catch it yourself. Don’t pass up the chance to have a ‘Taste of Taupo,’ so sign up for our trip now!
