Fishing in Nosy Be's rich waters

Nosy Be sits at the heart of some of the richest fishing grounds in the Indian Ocean, from shallow coral reefs to deep offshore drop offs. Whether you're after a relaxed morning over the reef or a serious offshore run, there's water here suited to it.
Deep Sea Fishing
Multi day trips out to the open banks, where marlin, sailfish, tuna and dorado run in real numbers. Strong currents and rich pelagic grounds reward the patient with the biggest fish on the island.
Reef Fishing
Light tackle sessions over shallow, sheltered reef for snapper and grouper, calm water and stunning scenery. A good fit for families and first time anglers.
Traditional Fishing
Join local fishermen using techniques passed down for generations, a hands on look at the island's fishing heritage alongside your catch.
After a day on the water, unwind on the beach with fresh seafood caught that morning and Malagasy hospitality that's hard to leave behind.
