Fishing

Whether you're an expert warming up for a fishing competition, a novice keen to learn some light-tackle techniques or just someone looking to get to where the fish are … The Vanuatu Islands have loads of fun in store for everyone!

Mangoes Resort can arrange a fishing experience you will remember long after your holiday is over. From adventurous deep sea fishing expeditions to small reef-fishing trips with guaranteed catches, we can put you in touch with Efate’s finest charter boat operators.

Well-versed in all things marine-related, these fishing trip organisers will take you to the right spot, supply you with the right tackle and also let you in on a couple of fishing secrets. All you have to do is listen in, focus, fish and have a blast while you’re at it!

Hook anything from a Mahi Mahi, to a Giant Trevally, Wahoo, Yellow Fin Tuna or even Marlin! Then leave it to the executive Chef and his team at Mangoes, to transform your ‘catch of the day’ into a culinary delight.  Alternatively, you could hop onto a handmade outrigger and set out on a fishing mission of your own with one of the Vanuatu locals.

Ever felt the urge to plunge into the deep blue and unravel the mysteries of the South Pacific underwater world? Here’s your chance!
