Full-day freshwater fishing from Phuket in Phang Nga, with a shaded sala, 60+ species and a chance at giant Arapaima. Private.
“Malgré un petit problème avec le taxi le matin ,le propriétaire a tous mis en œuvre afin que je passe une agréable journée. Et le guide à fait tout son possible pour me permettre de prendre un maximum d espèce différente. Je recommande sans problème”
Private Koh Samui fishing and snorkeling on a traditional boat, with BBQ lunch and stops at Koh Taen and Koh Mudsum.
“Great experience, the tour guides were very friendly. They cooked us the most delicious food & we had lunch on the boat. Very much recommended!”
Phuket game fishing and trolling trip with Racha Island snorkeling, fresh sashimi, and an 8-hour day on the water.
“The whole trip was very well organised, from the hotel pick ups, booking in at the tour operator's office and boarding the boat at the pier. The guide and 2 crew were friendly and very helpful, especially during the fishing. Soft drinks and snacks were available at all times. The deep sea trolling was a success and we caught 8 tuna with 3 escapees. Lunch was very good with the opportunity to eat our catch with swimming and snorkeling if you wanted to, before setting off again to try bottom fishing. Again a success with 7 caught. Back into Phuket and a transfer back to the hotel. Very enjoyable”
8-hour Koh Samui fishing trip with expert guidance, included gear and lunch, a Ko Som second round, and Thai street food.
“Great day trip. A bit of confusion when booking as the description had 8am start and only 2 pickup locations with surcharge outside these zones. Please note that hotel pickup is actually included and we were picked up at 9am in a van (Get Your Guide, please update your info online). We had a nice group size of 9 (shared trip) and left pier around 10am. We had 3 beginners in our party who quickly learnt how to use the rods and then lots of fishing time. Not many bites in the morning ( few small fish but enough to thrill the newbies), then onto a local bay for lunch.…”
Ko Lanta mangrove fishing by long-tail boat through Tung Yee Peng, with lunch, fruit, soft drinks, and sightings of crabs, mudskippers, birds.
“Great fun, great guide, and great activity and would highly recommend.”
Phuket trolling for marlin and tuna plus Koh Racha Yai snorkeling, with hotel pickup and catch-and-eat lunch included.
“Very over hyped and over advertised. BIG game fishing is not the correct description. 1. Got there and the guide told us we might catch some fish but probably not 2. Only mackerel NO big fish where we are going. 3. 8 people on boat and onRead more”
Phuket deep sea fishing and snorkeling cruise to Racha Island, with onboard lunch, hotel pickup, and calm sea views for a 7-hour day.
“If you are wanting to fish it is not worth it the boat is over sold so not everybody gets a go which isn’t fair since this is the reason we booked it”
Small-group fishing day on a longtail boat from Phuket to Racha Yai. Pickup, lunch, snorkel gear, and fishing time. Value check inside.
“Not great if you want to do some serious fishing. Racha boat trip with a little bit of fishing. 90% of the time fishing is just trolling while commuting to and from the island. I was baffled we caught anything. The lures they were using were just reaRead more”
Private long-tail boat fishing from Ko Lanta. Learn local techniques, chase barracuda and king mackerel, plus lunch and pickup.
“The best fishing experience with local fishermen I ever had. I would like the fishermen to speak better English but overall it was very original experience.”
Pick a coast, a city, or a kind of day.
