Overview
Night fishing tours head out aboard a traditional Maldivian dhoni after sunset to fish under the stars at nearby atolls. Simple hand-line fishing makes it beginner-friendly, and lucky anglers may pull up jackfish, snapper, or small tuna. Catches can be eaten as sashimi onboard or taken back to your guesthouse for dinner. A sky full of stars and the silent Indian Ocean make for an unforgettable evening. Tour about USD 20-35. Book through your guesthouse.
