Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My partner and I had the most enjoyable afternoon fishing with Davy on Lake Wanaka. We only booked the evening before and Davy was very accommodating to fit us in. His communication was excellent. The boat is very smart and comfortable. We got the whole boat to ourselves but it would comfortably accommodate 6 people. Davy offered excellent commentary on the local area and he was brilliant fun. We had blue skies and no wind so the views on the lake were picture perfect! Davy really knows how to fish. We are complete novices but managed to land 4 big fish (2 of which we threw back - our choice). We cooked one on the BBQ and took one home. Tea/Coffee and muffins (delicious) provided! We can't recommend this trip highly enough. Thank you Davy for making it so special.

Captain Davy has a perfect boat for fishing, or simply enjoying the lake and views. While warned about the number of fish we might or might not catch, we got both rainbow and brown trout and even sent a couple back to enjoy the beautiful waters! We brought ours home to cook and share with a friend. A great day and charming guide/captain! Yummy tea and home made muffins made it even nicer! Thanks so much!

This was a wonderful experience made even better by our guide Jammie. See NZ wildlife untouched by European introduced predators. The birds walk around the island. You take a 1.3 Kilometers hike up to an observation point, where you see our over the river and to a shallow lake on the island. It is breathtaking.

Davy the captain was great at communicating prior to the trip. He was waiting and ready to get going as agreed. We had four people on-board plus the captain which feels about right for this size boat. The boat was perfect for the lake - spotless and well appointed. We had a three hour trip which we extended to four hours . Fishing started off slow but picked up the last half of the trip - Davy cooked one of the three trout we kept – three or four were returned to the lake -- I would highly recommend this trip but remember its fishing – nothing is guaranteed in regards to how many you might catch !

We only booked this the day before so we were lucky there was space, in fact we had the whole boat to ourselves which was great. Davy was a great host and shared his love of Wanaka with us. The homemade muffin and tea/coffee was a real treat. Would definitely recommend this trip.

You wouldn't go to Wanaka just to do this but if you are in the area, it is a fun activity. We only caught one fish but it was large enough to feed (over-feed) two people. Davy grilled it onboard so it was the freshest fish ever. Good way to get a better sense of the lake also. Easy to book. Nice boat. Pleasant day.

A fantastic day out, Davy was extremely friendly, patient and informative. We were lucky enough to catch 4 large trout and enjoy them BBQ'd on the boat. The boat itself was extremely warm and comfortable (even on a slightly windy day) and the homemade muffins and tea were an extra treat! Thank you so much once again - will definitely be booking in for another trip soon!

Davy was a nice enough guy, but he didn't have modern fly rods, both times I hooked a fish the entire leader and fly immediately separated from the fly line, and he spent twenty minutes trying to reattach a leader to a fly line using a nail knot tool. Someone shouldn't represent themselves as a guide and take people fly fishing if they can't tie a basic nail knot which one can learn in minutes on the web or youtube (or buy loop-to-loop connectors!). Really frustrating morning on the lake. Seems to know his stuff re trolling, but don't go fly fishing with this guy.

I would recommend this for experienced fishermen or beginners alike. The weather was wet and cold to start with but Davy’s boat was more than up to the task of making sure we were all kept warm, comfortable and fed! Caught 4 large trout and got to take them home after picking up some cooking tips - Thank you for a great day!
