Fishing
To let you make
acquainted with the Maldivian way of life and
customs, we organize a number of excursions to the neighboring islands where
the centuries old culture and simple life style still remain unchanged.
Since time immemorial, the Maldivians have relied on fish as a basic food
item for its inhabitants. Not surprisingly, per capita consumption of fish
in the Maldives is one of the highest in the world, and fish is the main
source of protein for the inhabitants of the archipelago. Fishing is done
from dhonis, wooden boats of excellent craftsmanship. It is manned by a crew
of eight to ten men or sometimes fourteen. Dhivehis (Maldivians) go fishing
everyday when the weather permits, except Fridays. On Fridays they beach the
boats and service them, taking time out for noon prayers. Dhivehis like to
eat tuna fish and sometimes reef fish. The traditional fishing practiced by
the Maldivians is an art by itself that has evolved over the centuries.
Our excursion guides would escort and assist you during these trips that
include tours to the local fishing villages, tourist resorts, uninhabited
islands, fishing and reef snorkeling excursions etc. Amongst various type of
fishing, the choices we offer include sunrise fishing, sunset fishing and
big game fishing.
