Experience all that our Blue Safari destinations have to offer.
Astove has become synonymous with the largest flats-caught GT’s in the Indian Ocean. Its shallow lagoon and small entrance, surrounded by sheer drop-offs makes the experience truly unique.
With humans having placed very little pressure on its environment over the years, the encounters you’ll experience are proof of how remote and preserved this magnificent atoll is.
FLY FISHING Highlights
Home to the notorious GT, along with many other species to target, see Astove's sought after species here.
An exhilarating experience
Astove is a small Atoll, surrounded by coral flats with a deep drop-off on the edge, allowing predators easy access. Not only does Astove have large GT’s but it also has an equally impressive bonefish, permit, bluefin trevally, triggerfish, barracuda and milkfish population. With the numbers of permit caught ever increasing from season to season, if you are after achieving a “Grand Slam” this should certainly be your destination of choice.
The offshore fishing starts metres from the edge of the flats where you can test your tackle against species like yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, wahoo and sailfish. The variety of grouper and snapper that can be caught while dredging adds a new dimension to the amount of species you may tick off your list.
