This Phuket fishing tour is a private night squid fishing trip that takes your group out from Chalong Pier to the fishing grounds around Coral Island with local squid fishermen as your guides. You learn how they use bright lights to draw squid to the surface after dark, try it yourself, and have dinner on board under the stars.
