Mentawai Fishing

Some of the richest fishing waters in the world, catch and release or bring it home for dinner
5.0 (49 reviews)

The Mentawai Islands are not only a world-renowned surf destination but also a top fishing location.

The waters around the Mentawai Islands are rich with marine life, home to species such as dogtooth tuna, barracuda, wahoo, and giant trevally. Thanks to strong ocean currents and deep-water upwellings, the Mentawais offer some of the best fishing in Indonesia.

Villa Onu is also home to Mentawai Fishing, the first dedicated fishing trips in the Mentawai Islands. During your stay, we can arrange fishing adventures including casting and jigging, and occasionally spearfishing for experienced divers who know what they’re doing.
