Private early-morning fishing trip from Latchi to Akamas Blue Lagoon
Set out from Latchi for a private three-hour morning fishing trip along Akamas National Park. Learn rod skills from a local captain, explore hidden bays and anchor at the Blue Lagoon for a swim.
The Experience
Before You Go
Go early for calm water
Mornings usually offer the calmest seas and best light for fishing and photos.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Take anti-nausea medication beforehand if you’re sensitive to boat motion; the captain can slow down or anchor if needed.
Wear non-slip footwear
Decks and rocky shorelines can be slippery; sturdy, closed-toe shoes improve safety when boarding and landing.
Protect camera gear
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras — spray and sudden splashes are common.
