Maldives and fishing has been connected since the beginning of time. For our ancestors fishing was a lifestyle. They wake up before the sunrises and set out to the ocean on a sail boat with their trusty rods. They would come back when the sunsets, and provide food for their family and loved ones. Before tourism our economy revolved around fishing. Our dishes and specialties are sea food.
So when you go on a fishing trip Maldives, its more than just a sport, or way to pass sometime. You are also engaging in one of our tradition which runs in our blood to this day. Which is exactly why we recommend experiencing fishing on your Maldives local island holiday at Thulusdhoo.
Fishing at dawn or fishing at dusk at Thulusdhoo
Are you an early morning person or do you prefer the setting of the evening atmosphere? With the dusk or dawn fishing available at Thulusdhoo from most of the guesthouses you could choose a fishing scenario which you prefer, as most guesthouses at Thulusdhoo provides this option for you.
Wake up and set out to fish peacefully and watch the sunrise from the horizon and the colors painting the sky at dawn fishing to provide the perfect thrilling start to your day. Or enjoy a calm fishing session in the cool atmosphere of the evening where the last thing you will see will be a breathtaking sunset at your dusk fishing session.
The trips usually cost about $30 and lasts about 2 hours. Some guest houses even offer choices of vessels from the modern and faster speedboat to the more traditional and slower Maldivian boats called Dhoni. We recommend you the latter choice as it completes the Maldivian fishing experience and provides a unique feeling which cannot be found anywhere else.
The great thing about fishing trips is, whether you wake up early and venture into the sea or enjoy your fishing experience under the bountiful colors of the setting sun, you will be rewarded. We are not just talking about the incredible experience you will having at your little adventure, but your catches as well. At the end of the fishing trip your catch of the day will become your own personal meal to enjoy as the guesthouse will serve the fish you caught as a dish.
Fishing is an experience you should have especially at a country like Maldives, where the body of water is greater than the mass of the land. It’s also an experience you can have at Thulusdhoo and one you should take advantage of.
