From Khao Lak: Full–Day Khao Lak Fishing Trip

2.From Khao Lak: Full–Day Khao Lak Fishing Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 76 reviews · 7 hours · from $122

Join an English-speaking guide and professional captain for a seven-hour fishing trip from Khao Lak Beach. You will troll across the Andaman Sea, then try bottom fishing for snapper, grouper, barracuda, mackerel, and other tropical fish. The small group is limited to six people, with gear, lunch, drinks, fruit, and hotel pickup included.

“Dejlig fisketur med gode fangster af bundfisk. Veloplagt kaptajn, som var meget serviceminded. Ikke nogen gevinst ved trolling. En god ide kunne være at udvide med "flyfishing"/aktivt kastefiskeri efter pelagiske fisk.”

3.Koh Samui: Mr.Ung’s Private Fishing/Boat Trip/Snorkeling/BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 61 reviews · 6h 30m

Spend about six and a half hours on a shaded wooden boat with Mr. Ung’s crew, fishing around Koh Taen and Koh Mudsum, snorkeling when sea conditions allow, and eating a fish BBQ onboard. Hotel pickup, equipment, water, a licensed guide, and accident insurance are included. The boat can carry up to 15 people, though private bookings keep your group together.

“The tour guide picked us up at the hotel early. There were 5 participants on the trip so it wasn"t crowded at all. We had a good couple hours of clear skies to get some fishing in before it started to rain and become windy. It was my first time fishing but I caught three! We had fried rice and fish bbq for lunch. Since it started to rain we voted to forego the snorkeling in favor of more fishing, but eventually we had to return earlier than scheduled. Tour guide operator dropped us back off at the hotel. Overall good experience, despite the weather.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 40 reviews · 8 hours · from $125

Spend eight hours trolling and bottom fishing from Ao Chalong to Racha Yai, with a guide and crew helping you handle the gear. Your catch may become fresh sashimi or part of lunch on board. The day also includes swimming, snorkeling, soft drinks, fruit, hotel transfers, and a return cruise.

“The whole trip was very well organised, from the hotel pick ups, booking in at the tour operator's office and boarding the boat at the pier. The guide and 2 crew were friendly and very helpful, especially during the fishing. Soft drinks and snacks were available at all times. The deep sea trolling was a success and we caught 8 tuna with 3 escapees. Lunch was very good with the opportunity to eat our catch with swimming and snorkeling if you wanted to, before setting off again to try bottom fishing. Again a success with 7 caught. Back into Phuket and a transfer back to the hotel. Very enjoyable”

Koh Samui Day and Night Fishing Experience

6.Koh Samui Day and Night Fishing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 37 reviews · 8 hours · from $57

Spend eight hours fishing from Koh Samui to Ko Som with Mr. Tu and the local boat team. You’ll get rods, tackle, lunch, hotel transfers, and help handling your catch. The trip suits beginners, though catches depend on weather and conditions, and the listed Krabi Night Market stop does not match the Koh Samui schedule.

“Great day trip. A bit of confusion when booking as the description had 8am start and only 2 pickup locations with surcharge outside these zones. Please note that hotel pickup is actually included and we were picked up at 9am in a van (Get Your Guide, please update your info online). We had a nice group size of 9 (shared trip) and left pier around 10am. We had 3 beginners in our party who quickly learnt how to use the rods and then lots of fishing time. Not many bites in the morning ( few small fish but enough to thrill the newbies), then onto a local bay for lunch.…”
