Trail Details

Goa is blessed with water all around. The backwaters, rivers, ponds, and the mighty ocean! Not only are they beautiful to the eye but also an integral part of the Goan lifestyle. Fish are known as the fruits of the sea and exploring the variety of seafood found in Goa is a gastronomical experience by itself. We have seen fish on our plate several times but now it is time to experience what goes behind getting a good catch. This experience will allow you to try your hand at fishing in Goa with the help of a passionate local who has several years of experience under his belt. We move to different spots along the backwaters and sluice gates, trying our hand at getting a good catch! We learn the basics of how to use the fishing rod and the significance of fishing among the locals. We explore the world of crab catching in addition to fishing. There are many different kinds of crabs in Goa, and capturing them is a thrilling experience. You will learn how to collect crabs from our knowledgeable guide, including where to find them and how to use the proper equipment. ▪ Start time: 8:00 am (Alternate timing: 3:00 pm based on availability) Notes: ▪ This is not a Walking Trail ▪ All snacks served here will be Non-Veg ▪ Duration: 2 Hours 30 Minutes ▪ Available on request ▪ Location: Chimbel, Goa What makes this tour special ? ▪ Ferry crossing onto the Island ▪ Walk through the fields ▪ Stories about Chorao Island ▪ Visit to Bunds and Manos ▪ Introduction to the Manos system ▪ Introduction to Fishing by local Fishermen ▪ Meet a local and learn some fishing techniques from him ▪ Cooking the Crabs caught and enjoying the crabs with local bread Itinerary: ▪ Meetup and introduction at Ribandar Ferry Point ▪ Reach Fishing Area ▪ Explanation about apparatus of fishing and importance of manos ▪ Start the hands on Fishing experience ▪ Listen to the amazing stories and legends about the area ▪ Hands on experience on fish/crab cooking ▪ Snacks included
