Strike Zone Fishing Charters are one of the best kingfish and marlin charter boat operators and we can’t recommend them enough. They’re based right here in Tairua and you are guaranteed an awesome experience with your skipper Jason.

Jason Harris has been fishing out of Tairua since he could hold a fishing rod and has gained a good deal of respect from the local fishing community. His knowledge of the area is intimate and he can turn his hand to many different styles of angling.

The boat is a 7.2 m Challenger Hardtop built for comfort and serious fishing fun.

You’ll need to book early though as they are real busy:

New Zealand also has the best trout fishing in the Southern Hemisphere, so if you also fancy this we recommend you hire the best guide on the famous Tongariro River :

Trout Guide Andrew Chistmas

For the best accommodation right on the river
stay where we do, at the:

Tongariro River Motel

The Tongariro River Motel is easily one of the most frequented motels in Turangi and is located only metres away from world famous fishing pools such as the Judges pool and Major Jones.
