Description

This is a small-group or private fishing trip designed to feel authentic – “like a local.” You’ll fish from a traditional Thai longtail boat, learning traditional handline and rod techniques.

With experienced local captains who know the hidden reefs and seasonal fish migrations, your chances of a good catch are high.

Travel Itinerary

08:00 - Koh Phangan

Meeting point & briefing. Arrive at the PK Tours office in Koh Phangan. Meet your local fishing guide, complete a quick check‑in, and receive a safety and technique briefing. You’ll learn about the fish species you might encounter and the fishing methods (handline, light rod, or trolling). All equipment is provided – you don’t need to bring anything except sunscreen.

8:40 - Salad Beach & Surrounding Waters

Fishing, swimming, snorkeling & relaxing. Your boat will anchor or drift at prime fishing spots near Salad Beach and along the northwest coast of Koh Phangan. This area is known for reef fish, pelagic species, and calm, clear water.

  • Fishing – Drop your line and wait for a bite. Target species include queenfish, barracuda, red snapper, grouper, and sometimes mackerel. The crew will help you reel in your catch, remove hooks, and decide whether to release or keep (if you want to cook your fish later).

  • Swimming & Snorkeling – Between fishing sessions, cool off in the turquoise water. Snorkeling gear is provided to explore the shallow reefs.

  • Relaxing & Scenic Views – Enjoy the pristine coastline of Koh Phangan, with lush jungle hills and white sand beaches in the distance. The boat has shaded areas to escape the sun.
