The most common fish guests may catch is King Fish, Natal Snoek, Cuda, Bonnito, Yellow Fin Tuna and in the summer months, Dorado. Fishing rods and tackle as well as a boat lunch (6hr excursion) and refreshments are included in the rate. We encourage Catch & Release, however, should you wish to take your fish back to the Lodge, our Chef will prepare it for you. Please note that the boat keeps 25% of your catch ie if you catch 4 fish, the boat will keep 1.

PANSLEY ISLAND

Departure times for Pansy Island vary according to tides. A Massinga Beach vehicle will take you to the boat launch. After a cup of tea/coffee, you will be fitted with flippers should you require. Various sizes of goggles and snorkels are on the boat with pool towels. A short boat ride +-4.5km (15 minutes) will take you onto Pansy Island where you can snorkel around the shallow waters, collect the unique Pansy Shells or laze around on bean bags under the shade of a gazebo. A light snack basket and 2 soft drinks per person is included in the excursion rate. Additional drinks and alcoholic beverages may be purchased prior to departure. After spending about 2 hours on the island, your driver will take you back to Massinga Beach.
