Discover the hidden gems of Sri Lanka with Dts Lanka, as you get a true local fishing experience. Hit up the Bentota River and lagoon where it meets the sea, as you go after some exciting and delicious fish, and explore some stunning nature along the way.

Whether you're a beginner looking for something different, or a pro wanting that fix of fishing, your dedicated crew has you covered. Fishing is a way of life here, and your captain will have a lifetime's worth of experience behind him. Each member of the crew promises to do whatever they can to make sure you have a holiday to remember in these rich waters.

Up to 4 guests are welcome aboard the 18' Neil Marine deck boat to kick back and discover some incredible fishing grounds. There's plenty of gear, including artificial lures, waiting for you on board, and fly anglers can even take advantage of the two fly rods to test your skills.

You'll explore the river, mangroves, and lagoon on a 3-hour trip, leaving whenever suits you. Come in the morning to catch the early bite, come aboard refreshed in the afternoon, or engage in some intriguing night fishing and get exactly what you want out of your fishing trip.

These fishing grounds are home to a range of incredible and delicious creatures. Go after some local freshwater species, along with Catfish, Snappers, Jacks, Barracuda, and Trevallies, as you put your fishing skills to the test. There's plenty of water on board, so don't worry about working up a sweat as you try to fill the boat.

The crew will arrange a free pick-up and drop-off in Bentota, Induruwa, Kosgoda, Aluthgama, and Beruwala, and can arrange transport at a cost from areas further afield. They can even take you to a restaurant to cook up your catch at the end of the trip too.

Dts Lanka promises a fishing trip like no other. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks aboard for your trip, and settle in for an unforgettable fishing experience to spice up your holiday!

Had a fantastic trip, fished in a torrential downpour at one point, which was a first! Me and my friend both caught and the guys running the boat were both very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
