Fishing & Excursions

To let you make acquainted with the Maldivian way of life and customs, we organize a number of excursions to the neighboring islands where the centuries old culture and simple life style still remain unchanged. Since time immemorial, the Maldivians have relied on fish as a basic food item for its inhabitants. Not surprisingly, per capita consumption of fish in the Maldives is one of the highest in the world, and fish is the main source of protein for the inhabitants of the archipelago. Fishing is done from dhonis, wooden boats of excellent craftsmanship. It is manned by a crew of eight to ten men or sometimes fourteen. Dhivehis (Maldivians) go fishing everyday when the weather permits, except Fridays. On Fridays they beach the boats and service them, taking time out for noon prayers. Dhivehis like to eat tuna fish and sometimes reef fish. The traditional fishing practiced by the Maldivians is an art by itself that has evolved over the centuries.

Our excursion guides would escort and assist you during these trips that include tours to the local fishing villages, tourist resorts, uninhabited islands, fishing and reef snorkeling excursions etc. Amongst various type of fishing, the choices we offer include sunrise fishing, sunset fishing and big game fishing.

Dolphin Watch

Although it is a part of a Maldivian Fisherman's daily life to see the fascinating scenarios of the Dolphins play and jump while they pass by in the early mornings and evenings in giant groups, it would be a rare treat for any visitor to experience this marvelous feeling.
