Amed is well known for its peaceful coastline, clear waters, and relaxed atmosphere, but there is another way to experience this part of East Bali: going fishing. For travelers who want an activity that feels more connected to the sea and local coastal life, a fishing trip in Amed can be a memorable addition to a Bali holiday.

With Amed Experience, the activity does not end when the fishing trip is over. After returning from the sea, guests can continue with a cooking experience using their fresh catch and enjoy the prepared meal afterward. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are also included, making the entire experience easier from beginning to end.

Whether you want a relaxed Fun Fishing trip, traditional Hand Line Fishing, a more active Metal Jigging experience, or a trip focused on tuna or Mahi-Mahi, there are several options to choose from.

Why Try Fishing in Amed?

Amed is a coastal destination where the sea plays an important role in everyday life. While many visitors experience the area through snorkeling or simply relaxing near the beach, fishing offers a different perspective.

Instead of only looking at the ocean from the shore, you can head out onto the water and take part in the activity yourself.

Fishing is also different from a sightseeing tour because every trip can have a different result. Sea conditions, weather, fish activity, and other natural factors all influence the experience.

There is no guarantee that a particular fish will be caught, and that is part of what makes fishing exciting. Each trip is a real outdoor experience rather than a fixed attraction with exactly the same result every time.

More Than Fishing: From Sea to Table

One of the highlights of the Amed Experience fishing packages is what happens after the fishing activity.

Your trip continues with a cooking experience, where the catch from the day can be prepared before being enjoyed as a meal.

This creates a more complete experience compared with simply going fishing and returning to your hotel afterward.

You get to experience the journey from trying to catch the fish to preparing and eating it. For many travelers, this can become one of the most memorable parts of the activity.

It is also a great option for couples, friends, and small groups who want to spend time together while doing something different from a standard Bali tour.

Choose Your Fishing Experience in Amed

Amed Experience offers several fishing options with different techniques and trip capacities.

1. Fun Fishing

Fun Fishing is a good choice for travelers who simply want to enjoy being out on the water and experience fishing without focusing on a particular technique or target fish.

The relaxed nature of the trip makes it suitable for guests who are new to fishing or who just want to combine time at sea with a fun activity during their stay in Amed.

  • Price: IDR 1,000,000/trip
  • Maximum: 3 persons

After fishing, the experience continues with the cooking activity and the opportunity to enjoy the prepared catch.

2. Hand Line Fishing

Hand Line Fishing offers a simple fishing experience using a more traditional approach.

Instead of relying on a conventional fishing rod setup, hand line fishing provides a direct and hands-on way to experience fishing.

For travelers who are curious about different fishing techniques, this can be an interesting choice.

  • Price: IDR 1,000,000/trip
  • Maximum: 3 persons

Like the other Amed Experience fishing packages, the trip includes the cooking experience afterward, allowing guests to turn the day's catch into a meal.

3. Metal Jigging Fishing

Travelers looking for a more active fishing experience can choose Metal Jigging Fishing.

Jigging involves working the lure through the water, making the activity more physically engaging than simply waiting for a bite.

It can be a good option for guests who want to spend their time at sea actively fishing and trying a different technique.

  • Price: IDR 1,200,000/trip
  • Maximum: 3 persons

Fishing conditions can vary from day to day, so the exact experience will depend on the conditions during your trip.

4. Tuna Fishing

For travelers interested in a fishing trip focused on a specific type of fish, Tuna Fishing is available.

The trip takes guests onto the waters around Amed to search for tuna according to the conditions on the day.

Because fishing takes place in a natural environment, tuna sightings and catches cannot be guaranteed. Sea conditions and fish activity determine what happens during each trip.

  • Price: IDR 1,500,000/trip
  • Maximum: 3 persons

The unpredictable nature of the experience is one of the reasons fishing can be so exciting. Every trip has the possibility of being different.

5. Mahi-Mahi Fishing

Mahi-Mahi Fishing is another option for travelers who want a more focused fishing experience.

Guests head out onto the water with the aim of searching for Mahi-Mahi while enjoying the surrounding sea.

As with any fishing activity, the chance of catching Mahi-Mahi depends on natural conditions and fish activity at the time of the trip.

  • Price: IDR 1,500,000/trip
  • Maximum: 3 persons

After returning, guests can continue with the cooking experience and enjoy the fresh catch when available.

6. Trolling Fishing

Trolling Fishing offers another way to experience the waters around Amed.

During trolling, fishing lines are used while traveling through fishing areas, creating a different experience compared with hand line fishing or metal jigging.

This package is designed for a smaller group, with a maximum capacity of two people.

  • Price: IDR 1,500,000/trip
  • Maximum: 2 persons

It can be a good option for couples or two travelers who want a more private fishing experience together.

Which Fishing Trip Should You Choose?

The best option depends on the type of experience you are looking for.

If your priority is simply having fun and trying fishing while in Amed, Fun Fishing is an easy place to start.

Travelers interested in a simpler fishing method may prefer Hand Line Fishing, while those who want a more active technique can choose Metal Jigging Fishing.

If you are interested in searching for a particular type of fish, Tuna Fishing or Mahi-Mahi Fishing may be more suitable.

For two travelers looking for a different fishing technique, Trolling Fishing provides another option.

Regardless of which package you choose, remember that fishing is affected by nature. A successful trip should be measured by the overall experience rather than only by how many fish are caught.

Hotel Transfer Is Included

Transportation can sometimes be one of the inconvenient parts of arranging an activity while traveling.

For the fishing packages with Amed Experience, hotel pick-up and drop-off are included.

This means guests do not need to arrange separate transportation before and after the activity.

You can be collected from your hotel, enjoy the fishing and cooking experience, and then return after the activity.

For travelers staying around Amed, having transportation arranged as part of the experience makes the day simpler and more comfortable.

What Should You Bring for a Fishing Trip?

Fishing means spending time outdoors and on the water, so it is worth preparing a few basic items before the trip.

We recommend bringing:

  • Comfortable clothing
  • Hat
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera or smartphone
  • Personal necessities

It is also a good idea to wear clothing that you do not mind getting a little wet.

Weather and sea conditions may change, so guests should always follow any safety instructions given before or during the trip.

Fishing Depends on Natural Conditions

Unlike many tourist attractions, fishing cannot be completely predictable.

Weather, currents, sea conditions, seasons, and fish movement can all affect the activity.

For this reason, a particular species or quantity of fish cannot be guaranteed.

Fishing areas may also need to be adjusted according to the conditions on the day.

If the sea is not suitable for safe fishing, the activity may need to be rescheduled.

These adjustments are made so that guests can enjoy the experience under appropriate conditions.

A Great Activity for Small Groups

The fishing packages are designed for small numbers of guests.

Most options allow a maximum of three people, while the Trolling Fishing package has a maximum of two people.

The smaller capacity makes the experience particularly suitable for:

  • Couples
  • Families
  • Friends traveling together
  • Small private groups
  • Travelers looking for a more personal activity

Instead of joining a large tourism group, you can enjoy the experience with the people you are traveling with.

Combine Fishing with Your Stay in Amed

A fishing trip is easy to combine with other activities during a stay in Amed.

You might spend one day exploring the underwater world through snorkeling and another day fishing at sea. You can also combine your time in Amed with a private East Bali tour to destinations such as Lempuyang Temple, Tirta Gangga, Lahangan Sweet, or Taman Ujung.

This makes Amed more than just a place to stay by the coast.

It can become a base for experiencing the sea, local activities, and nearby destinations across East Bali.

Experience Amed from the Sea

A holiday in Amed is not only about what you can see from the beach. Heading out for a fishing trip gives you an opportunity to experience the coastline from another perspective.

Choose from Fun Fishing, Hand Line Fishing, Metal Jigging Fishing, Tuna Fishing, Mahi-Mahi Fishing, or Trolling Fishing depending on the experience you prefer.

Then, after returning from the sea, continue the journey with a cooking activity and enjoy the meal prepared from your catch.

With hotel transfer included and several fishing styles available, Amed Experience makes it easy to add a different kind of coastal adventure to your Bali trip.

Come for the fishing, enjoy the cooking experience, and take home a memorable story from your time in Amed.
