Join Tim at NZ kayaker on a half day kayak fishing trip for perfect combo of relaxation and breathtaking scenic beauty and the thrill of the catch!

 

Join Tim from NZ Kayaker and set out on a fishing trip like no other!

Exhilarating and unique, the guided kayak fishing experience takes you through the idyllic waters of Papamoa Beach to the best fishing locations in the Bay of Plenty.

Whether you've never set foot in a kayak before, or if you're a seasoned pro, the half day kayak fishing with NZ kayaker is suitable for every experience level - and that goes for the fishing component too!

As with all fishing, it’s never a guarantee that you will catch fish...after all it's called fishing, not catching! Rest assured, your guide Tim Taylor is Tauranga's only dedicated kayak fishing guide so you’ll have the best possible chance at scoring a great catch!

Tim will be there offering the best tips, tricks, and local fishing knowledge, so that you get the very most from your time on the water - he’ll even fillet your catch so you can take it home for dinner!
