Fishing on Thoddoo: sunset reef fishing and barbecue

Relax Residence organises a sunset reef fishing excursion with a barbecue dinner from your catch. Here are the details from our excursion page and a word on the rules.

What the excursion includes

• You fish from a boat on the reef at sunset. Any size of reef fish may be caught. Typical catches include snappers, groupers and barracudas, but the catch depends on the day.
• While you fish, beef, poultry, fish or other food is grilled on open coals. All the fish you catch is grilled and served for dinner, for you and your group only.
• Tell us about allergies and food preferences when you book.

Price, booking and what to bring

• The price is USD 75 per person. For groups, confirm the price with us. We checked prices and times in October 2026; they may change, so we confirm them at booking.
• The time and duration are confirmed when you book: send us the date and the number of people by WhatsApp +960 950-9961 or by email at info@relaxresidencemaldives.com.
• Bring sunscreen, a cap and something warm for the evening. The trip depends on weather and sea state. You can combine it with manta snorkelling: confirm the terms and price with us. Fishing and barbecue excursion Manta rays on Thoddoo

Rules and responsible fishing

• Reef fishing in the Maldives is regulated. The Fisheries Act (No. 14/2019) and regulations such as the 2025 Reef Fishery Management Regulation set rules, for example on fishing gear. Ask us which rules apply to your trip.
• Fish only what you will eat, and follow the instructions of the crew.
