Local fisherman on traditional boat

Catch & Cook — The Siargao Way

Live like a local for a day. Fish the traditional way with a Siargao fisherman, then cook and share the catch with his family.

The experience

This isn’t a fishing show. You meet a local fisherman, help prepare the boat, learn how handline fishing actually works, and then head back to shore with whatever the sea gave you. His family cooks the catch with you and shares a home-cooked meal in their home. It’s the most direct way to see how life actually runs on this island.

  • Meet & prepare — meet your fisherman, share local coffee, prepare the boat
  • Fish the traditional way — learn handline fishing techniques in local spots
  • From sea to shore — return with your catch, learn about local fish and island life
  • Cook together — head to the fisherman’s home and cook your fresh catch with the family
  • Island lunch — a home-cooked meal, shared stories, real island hospitality
