Squid Fishing at night.

This is the top high light of holiday in this region. We are the only resort that offers you this undisclosed experience on the sea.

The trip starts at about 8 pm. Out to the sea on a small local fishing boat equipped with all the fishing gear you will ever need and most importantly a cooking pot for your late dinner. You will learn how to use hooks to fish for your own squids. The whole thing is very different from fishing for normal fish When you will use regular fishing hooks.

You will not believe that you will learn for the first time after eating the fresh squids you just get from the sea and cooked immediately that they are simply not the same taste at all as the normal squids you get from the market; it is much better that is. The possibility is that you will not want to buy squids from the market again.

You will see the unique technique developed by fisherman in this region especially to get squids commercially. You will be amazed how clever they are designing equipment, low cost, that will catch nothing else except squids and a lot of squids. The trip will include cooking the fresh squid all you can eat. You will therefore should have very small dinner so you will have spare room for the fresh catch and bring your favorite sauces. You may even pack your dinner and enjoy it all on the boat.

This is an experience you will not forget. The fisherman uses a colourful lighting technique to attract squids to the trap. You must see.
