In addition to being a popular recreational pastime amongst visitors to the Maldives, fishing provides important revenue for the local people as it is an important industry for the island nation.

Morning fishing which is also referred to as big game fishing is undertaken in the deep expanses of the sea, whilst night fishing is typically carried out near a reef. Other forms of fishing that you will be able to enjoy in the Maldives would be sunset and sunrise fishing, spin fishing and line trawling. A choice of accommodation to consider from where you will have the opportunity to go sunset fishing would be Adaaran Prestige Vadoo, which is one of the Maldives 5 star hotels where you can engage in such water-based activities.
