WELCOME TO HUKA PRAWN PARK

The ultimate prawn themed adventure park for all ages, Taupo’s only riverside
restaurant, and the only geothermally-heated prawn breeding park in the world.


LABOUR WEEKEND! 26TH - 28TH OCTOBER 2024


THE RETURN OF A CLASSIC: PRAWN FISHING CONTINUES AT HUKA PRAWN PARK

It feels like Summer here in Taupō and after the first couple of soft trial
runs, we have decided to open up the much-loved prawn fishing activity again
this labour weekend (Saturday 26th – Monday 28th October) to allow for more
hooks and bites! The fishing has been somewhat successful with some catches,
lots of nibbles and a whole lot of family fun and enjoyment.

 

The activities park is open and operating throughout the weekends while the
Prawn Fishing will return again for labour weekend in timeslots:

LABOUR WEEKEND FISHING TIMES!

TIMESLOT 1 – 10:00AM – 12:00PM

TIMESLOT 2 – 1:00PM – 3:00PM

*Monday labour day timeslot from 10:00am – 12:00pm only*

Please note that the capacity for fishing is 200 people at a time.

Prawn Fishing must be purchased per person in addition to your park entry fee.
Entry Passes are available for purchase online or upon arrival. Taupō Locals
receive special rates! Just bring a proof of residence.



With our new geothermal heating system up and running, combined with a series of
successful larval runs over the past 6-9 months, we have observed good survival
and growth rates among a decent number of prawns. As a result, we now have an
outdoor pond nicely stocked with prawns of various sizes, ready to trial fishing
once again. While we proceed with caution until we receive the new breeding
stock and initiate the corresponding breeding plan, this week will provide an
opportunity to review the behaviors and challenges associated with prawn
fishing, allowing us to assess the possibility of reintroducing it on a seasonal
schedule. After evaluating the success of this initial trial, we will reassess
the fishing success rate and remaining numbers before planning for the future.

 

As always, please remember that this is a fishing activity, and a catch is not
always guaranteed. We have been testing the pond and know the prawns are biting,
so we hope everyone has some luck. As this return is eagerly anticipated by
many, we hope everyone will fish responsibly to ensure that others can also
enjoy the thrill of the catch.



GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY FUN!

The school holidays have arrived, and we’re thrilled to announce the park is
re-opening under the new ownership – just in time for families to make
unforgettable memories this Summer! We’ve got everything you need for a day
packed with excitement and adventure. Plus, our locals enjoy exclusive discounts
