Fun Fishing Tour in Trincomalee
Fun Fishing Tour in Trincomalee
The Fun Fishing Tour is designed following the "eat what you catch" philosophy, by combining a fishing and a culinary experience. It is recommended for amateurs, beginners, families and the catch is guaranteed. Under the guide of an expert boatman you will sail the Indian Ocean in a comfortable, safe and brand new boat. It is equipped with four fish rod holders. Usually in the morning the ocean is calmer and you can enjoy its fresh breeze. During the day the temperature gets much higher and only short boat trips are recommended. Therefore, for an optimal experience, our tour is scheduled at 5:00 AM. Although you can fish almost everywhere in Trincomalee, we prefer the secluded area of Nilaveli for our tours. Less touristic and crowded, it has a beautiful exotic beach we recommend to visit. Nilaveli is located north of Trincomalee with Pigeon Island just in front of it. We will pick you up at your hotel and will drive you by tuk-tuk to the departure point. Among others, typical catches are Snappers, Trevallies, Crevalle Jacks, Mullets, Groupers, Mackereles and Sardinellas. Thanks to a combination of seasonality and local knowledge, you will be guided to the areas you are most likely to find your preferred catch. Even beginners can rest assured to catch some fish during this tour. Chef Priyantha will cook it for you in our restaurant, or if you prefer you can take it away with you. In addition, if you are lucky, you might encounter pods of Spinner Dolphins that are the most common cetacean species of Trincomalee. A minimum number of two customers is required to confirm the trip. If you are a solo traveler and you are the first person to book the tour, your booking will be put on hold. It will be confirmed, via email, as soon as the next customer makes the same reservation. In the remote case, the minimum number of requested participants has not been reached, you will be promptly contacted and offered alternative options.
A complimentary breakfast will be served at the end of the tour. Therefore, if you plan to visit Pigeon Island in the same day, we recommend the tour scheduled at 10:00 AM. This way you will have enough time to enjoy your snacks and to get some relax before the new trip.
