Taupo’s only Riverside Restaurant
Serving giant freshwater Prawns exclusively available at Huka Prawn Park, whether you order them up by the kilogram tossed in garlic butter, warm up with a curry or enjoy them lightly battered with a crisp cider or local craft beer to match you’ll enjoy a feast like no other all while enjoying views over the aqua marine waters of the mighty Waikato River.
Sadly we had to make the heartbreaking decision to temporarily close the prawn fishing part of the activities park in December 2020.
For an unexplained reason prawn numbers are mysteriously dropping off. We continue our extensive scientific research and monitoring to understand and fix the cause so we can offer this activity again in the future. This is an ongoing process.

So much to do, could spend all day!
Well looked after park with a team of experts willing to help. So much fun for all ages. Recommend bringing a change of clothes for water activities and the guided tour was interesting.
This is a must do activity when in Taupo!
I don’t normally do reviews but this place is excellent. The concept is fantastic, the whole family had a awesome day at the prawn farm. This is a 100% must do activity when in Taupo. You will love it 👍🏻🦐
Fabulous!
