FISHING TRIPS AND BOAT RIDES (RIVER AND SEA)
 

Fancy a fishing trip or boat ride ?

The hotel has its own landing stage on the Bandiala which leads to the Ocean.

Our 14 canoes and skiffs, all equipped with 40 hp engines, are waiting to take you on a fishing trip or for a boat ride on the interlaced sounds and islets and help you experience a very special moment. There is an extra charge for this activity.

The waters in the Saloum Delta are an angler's paradise containing some of the highest numbers of fish in the world. Fishermen can encounter numerous species including grouper, barracuda, Nile perch, croaker, red and white carp, sea bream, skate, bass and more.

The quantities and the size of the fish can be quite surprising. In 2001, a red carp weighing 60 kg (world record) was caught, followed in 2002 by a stingray weighing in at 111 kg.

The main types of fishing available are hand lining, trolling or surf casting .

We also own a larger fast boat, equipped with a 75 hp motor, to go fishing in the Ocean.
