Morning Fishing Trip
Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with an early morning fishing trip aboard the Lo-Loma. You will head out on the beautiful, unpolluted water, looking back upon the island paradise that is Stewart Island, and will get to catch your own delicious Stewart Island Blue Cod.
While upon the Lo-Loma, your experienced skipper, Richard "Squizzy" Squires, will take you to the best fishing spots. With his vast local knowledge and equipped with hand lines, catching fish is a sure thing.
While you soak up the relaxed atmosphere on the boat and experience firsthand the famous Stewart Island hospitality, you will also be entertained by the birdlife on the water.
The fishing and scenery, alongside the local hospitality and great company, make for an enjoyable start to your day of adventure.
Arriving back at the wharf you will be energized and full of smiles, ready to take on the rest of the afternoon with enthusiasm and vigor.
