Fishing in Sanur with a Traditional Boat
The traditional fishing boat in Balinese culture is called a Jukung, used primarily for coral or bottom fishing in Bali
Along the beaches of Bali, especially in fishing villages like Amed, Padang Bai, Kusamba, Sanur, Benoa, Tanjung Benoa, and as far north as Lovina Beach, you'll find the iconic traditional fishing boat known as the Jukung. These boats are specifically designed for fishing and are commonly used for coral or bottom fishing techniques. Nowadays, many Jukungs are equipped with one or two motors to enhance productivity.
Fishermen typically rely on their experience rather than modern technology, such as GPS or fish finders, to locate fishing spots. Some Balinese fishermen also consider auspicious days and times for fishing based on the Balinese calendar or predictions from village elders.
Unlike expert fishing, which can have days with no catch, this fun fishing experience offers a higher chance of catching many fish and enjoying them cooked at a local restaurant.
Also check out our traditional fishing program in Lembongan and Amed Fishing Village.
This program uses a motorized Jukung or traditional boat to explore locations from Sanur areas and employs coral or bottom-fishing techniques. You'll need all the necessary equipment, so you don't need to bring anything. We'll pick you up from your hotel around 6:30 am (by request), take you to our office in Sanur to fit the fishing gear, then head to the beach to meet our experienced fishing crew, who will be ready with the boat and additional equipment.
