What you can expect

  • Begin your adventure by meeting your guide at the Kerkennah pier. Climb aboard a traditional wooden fishing boat as the first light of dawn begins to wash the sea in gold.

    Learn about the Drina Trap Fishing technique, where traps are placed in front of the ebb so that the fish rush into the openings as they swim upstream. Next, discover the Charfia Weir Technique, a centuries-old method using interlaced reeds and nets to funnel fish into holding pens.

    If you're visiting during the right season, try your hand at Damassa Net Casting, which involves spreading a flat net across the water’s surface with strategically placed floats.

    Enjoy panoramic sea views on the journey back to shore, rich with hands-on stories of Kerkennah’s fishing heritage.
