Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup, taking you straight to the pier where your private long-tail boat awaits. As you head out, your guide, a local fisherman with over two decades of experience, will share stories of life at sea and the traditions that shape the island’s fishing culture.

The boat will take you to several fishing hotspots, each chosen for its abundance of marine life. Depending on the day, you might find yourself battling the strength of a big barracuda or reeling in a shimmering king mackerel. Beginners will get plenty of friendly guidance, while experienced anglers can test their skills in these rich waters.

Between catches, you can relax on deck, enjoy seasonal fruits, sip a cold drink, and take in panoramic views of limestone cliffs and turquoise waters. By the end of the trip, you will head back to shore with unforgettable memories and maybe even dinner.
