Ilai Khalek

Nadi, Fiji
25+ reviews
Capt. Ilai runs trips out of Nadi aboard a 26' Mako center console. These waters are known for GTs and Mahi Mahi and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or spearfishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Highlight of our trip!

    4 Hr - Fishing Trip

    We truly experienced Fiji with this tour! This was the highlight of our trip which we booked the fishing/snorkelling tour for our youngest LOVES fishing. We didn’t know what to expect but Ilai and Zaira were the best captain and co captains making us feel at ease and set up everything for our boys! Well equipped with all safety necessities such as life jackets and first aid kit, they had all the fishing gear too! We trolled and then came to spot where Ilai set the boys up to cast, hand line and even spear fish while we snorkelled. Views are stunning, hospitality beyond pleasant and the knowledge of the area is mind blowing but being locals they got it! Our sons first time ever, first shot caught a fish while spear fishing! These two are so kind, professional, chill and fun! We wish we knew about them at the beginning of our trip than the last bit. 100% recommend!!

    Great day on the water.

    4 Hr - Fishing Trip • 3 adults

    Three of us wanted to try spear fishing. Why not in Fiji? Captain Ilhi provided everything we needed. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have a relaxed day on the waves with no pressure and a friendly captain.

    Great day out on the water

    4 Hr - Fishing Trip • 3 adults • 2 children

    Great day out on the water with my two young boys. We didn’t have much luck with the fishing (a cyclone two days before probably didn’t help), but the crew were fantastic—took us swimming around the reefs and made it a great experience. The boys absolutely loved it!
