Fishing Excursion: from Side vs from Kundu
The Fishing Excursion can be picked up from both Side and Kundu. The tour itself is identical (8:30 AM to 1:00-1:30 PM, β¬45 per person) β the real difference is the transfer. From Side it's about 0 km (~10 min); from Kundu it's about 49.6 km (~62 min). If you want less time on the road, Side is the shorter run. Operator note: A laid-back, family-friendly fishing morning rather than a serious angling trip β the crew set everyone up with rods and help kids land their first catch. There's a swim stop in turquoise water and lunch on board, so bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. Mornings are calmest for both fishing and the sea, which is why we run it early. Best for families and couples who want a gentle half-day on the water without the party-boat crowd.

Traveller reviews
This was a relaxed family morning rather than a serious deep-sea fishing trip, and that suited us perfectly. The crew helped my son with the rod without making him feel silly, and he was proud even with a small catch. We also had time to swim, which broke up the fishing nicely. Simple, kind, and easy.
My dad enjoyed this more than the busy tours. Calm sea, cold drinks, and a kind crew.
We had a slow start with the fish, but the guide kept the kids entertained.
We didnt catch anything huge, but the morning was still very enjoyable. The boat was basic, the crew were friendly, and they moved spots when the fish went quiet. I would recommend it more for families and casual fishing than for people expecting a specialist fishing charter. Lunch was simple but fine.
Good choice if you want time on the water without loud music or crowds.
I liked the relaxed pace. Nobody rushed us and the crew cleaned everything quickly.
