The Maldives, with its cerulean waters, is the best place to spot Dolphins. Cruise alongside playful Dolphins and be fascinated as they spin gracefully in the light of the setting sun.

Learn age-old Maldivian fishing methods assisted by our experienced boat captain and his deckhand. Master the local hand line method of fishing and be amazed by what may be caught: snappers, jacks, barracudas, to mention but a few. Catch a sizeable fish, and the chef will be more than willing to prepare and serve it for lunch following day. Refreshments will be served on board.

This fishing method uses lures to attract hunters like bonitos or trevally during the hunting time in the early afternoon. The chefs can prepare the catch according to guest preference.

Leave at early morning hours on our boat and trawl in the deeper waters to catch big ones like Sail Fish, Marlins, Barracudas, Trevallies, and many more!

Discover one of the earliest fishing methods of the Maldives that children usually practice. This type of fishing uses a Penn rod to catch smaller fish on the lagoon.
