This unique farm has evolved from the first salmon farm in the world to operate in a hydro-electric canal system. Located on the Tekapo canal, the farm produces over 100 tonnes each year of high quality Chinook salmon - principally for export. Pristine water from Lake Tekapo and a pollution free environment mean no chemicals or antibiotics are required.
Visitors to the farm can have a self-guided tour of a production raft, and feed the fish. Group tours are welcome.
Fresh fish are available for sale in whole or fillet form, along with a selection of hot and cold smoked salmon.
Magnificent views of Mount Cook and the Southern Alps are available from the Canal Road, which loops back to the State Highway so no back-tracking is necessary.
The farm site has a short walk to a lookout, providing views of Lake Pukaki and Mount Cook. Toilet facilities are available.
The farm is open to visitors year round - the road may be closed during severe weather conditions.
