If you’re looking for an authentic, local, and unforgettable experience in Bali, fishing at sea in Amed is something I recommend 100%. No mass tourism or large boats—just the ocean, Balinese fishermen, and an absolutely magical sunrise.

Sunrise Fishing Trip in Amed, Bali

To experience this activity, we did it through the guest house where we were staying:

📍 Putra'Lebah Amed

🏨 Book on Agoda with Discount

It’s a family-run hotel, very welcoming and peaceful, with lots of charm. What makes it special is that it’s managed by a woman, the owner, who is very friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. From the first moment, you feel right at home.

Fishing in Bali: Prices, Tips, and How to Book Your Amed Trip

Very important: don’t leave it until the last minute.

👉 The morning before your desired trip, go to the hotel reception and ask if you can go fishing the next day.

Why? Because the owner will contact the local fishermen to make sure they’re available. Everything here works in a traditional way, based on trust.

Amed Fishing Schedule and Tips

On the day of the excursion, you’ll need to wake up early 😄

⏰ Alarm set for 5 AM to head out to sea very early.

Some important things you should know:

The fishermen typically don’t speak English, only Balinese
Don’t worry: they’ll teach you how to line fish, step by step
No previous experience needed

And best of all… you’ll get to enjoy a spectacular sunrise in the middle of the sea 🌅

🕒 The trip lasts approximately 2 hours, but time flies by. You’ll love:

The sunrise colors
The absolute calm of the sea
The local and authentic atmosphere

It’s a truly magical and relaxing moment.

In our case, we were very lucky: we caught a tuna 🐟🔥

How Much Does Fishing in Bali Cost and Why Is It Worth It?

💰 Payment is made in cash:

Directly to the fisherman or to the owner, depending on what she indicates
For €22 for two people, approximately 400,000 IDR (Indonesian rupiah), you can have a fishing excursion in Bali with the best sunrise.

👉 Honestly: it’s absolutely worth it. You’re paying for a real, human, and authentic experience.

The Best Fresh Fish Dish: Straight from Sea to Table

When you return, don’t take the fish with you.

👉 Bring it to the hotel: the owner will cook it for you.

In our case:

Cooked grilled
With some local spices
Ultra-fresh fish… caught by yourself

The result: delicious, simple, and totally unforgettable.

✨ Conclusion: An Essential Bali Experience

Fishing at sea in Amed is:

A total immersion into Balinese culture
A moment outside of time
Incredible human connections
A memory that will stay with you forever
