6 Hour Trip – Fishing and Fun on February 10, 2024

Awesome day out on Lake Taupo

VERIFIED

My family of four booked a 6h fishing trip. Capn Dan, the skipper of MV Solamaar made our fishing experience a highly memorable one. He was very seasoned and highly experienced in his craft. It was a relaxing day on the water. Our time was spent enjoying the views around the lake, skimming along the water, feeling the cool breeze and interspersed by bouts of excitement and activity when a trout took the bait.We caught quite a few. Capn Dan kindly cleaned the fishes for us and we even got to...
