Fishing experience in Timor-Leste
Deep blue, big game

Fishing

The deep waters off Timor-Leste's coast drop sharply from reef to abyss, creating world-class conditions for game fishing. Marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and giant trevally are all regularly caught. For something more laid-back, join local fishermen on a traditional outrigger canoe at dawn, an experience that hasn't changed in centuries.

  • Reef fishing along the north coast
