All about the trip

Fishing tradition runs deep to the roots of Pemba’s culture. Not only will you enjoy sailing the Ngalawa, but you will also learn how to fish with the local experts. This 3 hours excursion is tide and weather dependent. Besides the stunning beauty of Pemba Island itself, the surrounding islands, drop-offs, and reefs provide for some fantastic fishing opportunities! The coastline of mainland Pemba drops steeply into the Indian Ocean, whilst the outlying island tends to have the endless beaches dotted with palm trees. Accordingly, this provides the perfect getaway for anyone looking to experience a true tropical island fishing adventure!

Fishing by trolling a combination of lures or natural dead baits (ballyhoo or strips) or live bait.
