Huka Prawn Park, Taupo

Loved this activity! Best to go at 9am until 2pm. You get a good catch and can enjoy a lunch at the restaurant. If you don't catch many it's still so much fun. This venue would be perfect for an early dinner at closing time however it's not open. A bit sad because there is a beautiful view, lovely fireplace. I would have loved to spend more money here, eat my prawns at the end of the day at the restaurant. I would also enjoy dinner here at any time since it would be the best and only seafood restaurant in town. Thank you all at Huka Prawn Park! We had a great time and will be seeing you again at 9am next time!

Very interesting to catch your own prawns. The restaurant will then cook it for you if you wish. The deep-fried potato chips served by the restaurant cannot be beaten. By absolutely no one nowhere. This place is child-friendly. Lively outside lawn area.

Had such an amazing day here. Who would have thought prawn fishing could be so much fun. Popped in to show our UK guest the place with the view of going for lunch. Spent 4 hours, paddle boarding, fishing and having a great time....even managed to catch enough for our own lunch. Have been highly recommending

Good place to take the family out. Very interesting. You can take the prawns home or cook it there.

We've been going to the Huka Prawn Park for 4 years running. We usually stay for about 4 hours and have a picnic lunch there. This year they opened up two other pools for fishing. This was by far the least productive year. I'm pretty good at prawn fishing and catch three times as much as those around me but this time we only caught 5 prawns between us both. Last year I caught 10, and the year before 17. It was very disappointing, hardly anyone was catching any. There are so many tadpoles and small fish eating your bait it does get annoying. The bait they give you is too big for the prawns, which only eat small pieces, so break up any of the large bits. Also watch out for the sparrows tipping over and eating your bait.
