Fishing expeditions in the Maldives are the perfect water activity that offers a blend of calm and adventure. In addition to witnessing the various vibrant species that live beneath the Maldivian waters, a fishing trip will teach you a few useful skills for snagging a catch of your own. Here are some key tips to remember when organising a fishing trip in the Maldives.
Consider the Types of Fishing
There are different types of fishing in the Maldives including fly fishing, deep-sea fishing and traditional dhoni fishing. Consider which type you would like to experience before making a reservation on a tour or at a resort like OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO.
Choose the Right Time
Consider a time between November and April when you can expect to catch a variety of species like tuna, sailfish and marlin. It is also important to factor in the monsoon season which plays an important role in the migration patterns of several species.
Ensure You Have the Right Gear
You’ll need the right fishing gear that suits the type of expedition you’re going for. Most Maldives all-inclusive resorts provide the necessary equipment but if you have a preference for any type of gear it is best to make inquiries ahead of time.
Follow Local Regulations
The Maldives has several limits and regulations that protect certain species and areas. It is important to be aware of these guidelines to help protect the local biodiversity and marine environments during your expedition.
