About This Experience
Step into the fishing traditions of the Maskelyne Islands on this hands-on, two-hour experience guided by locals who know these waters intimately. Learn the techniques before heading out by canoe, boat, or on foot, climbing mangroves, crafting coconut bait, and fishing alongside the kids using spears and bow and arrow. Opt for the night session and you'll walk the reef by torchlight hunting fish and crabs. Whatever you catch, you'll cook it up fresh back at Malog Bungalows.
Highlights
- Fish like locals using spears, bows and arrows
- Climb mangroves and make coconut bait with kids
- Choose a daytime canoe trip or night reef walk
- Torch-lit crabbing and reef fishing after dark
