Ready to Try Drone Fishing in Bali? Here’s Exactly What to Expect from Start to Finish

The Drone Fishing Experience — Step by Step

Drone Fishing Bali offers a modern alternative to conventional fishing, designed to maximize safety, convenience, and thrill. Here’s a detailed look at what happens when you book your first drone fishing trip with us.

1. Arrival and Warm Welcome

Our team will greet you at the pre-agreed meeting point or pick you up (if you booked transport). We’ll head to a scenic beach location known for high activity — selected based on conditions like tide, wind, and fish movement that day.

Once on-site, you’ll get a full briefing about:

  • How the drone operates

  • Safety rules and distance guidelines

  • What types of fish we’re targeting

  • Your role during the casting

This short orientation ensures everyone feels comfortable and confident before the action begins.

2. Watching the Drone in Action

Next, you’ll witness our certified operator launching the drone, flying it out to the perfect casting zone, and releasing the bait with precision. Many guests are amazed by the smoothness and power of the SwellPro FD3 drone — the waterproof model we use to handle salty air and big baits.

The drone allows:

  • Reaching over 400 meters offshore

  • Avoiding sea sickness or boat costs

  • Ultra-precise bait drops in active zones

You’ll be holding the fishing rod from the beach while the drone delivers your bait exactly where it needs to go.

3. Waiting, Hooking, and Reeling In

Once the bait is dropped, it’s all about patience and skill — and our team is there to coach you along the way. As soon as there’s movement on the line, the excitement builds.

We’ll help you:

  • Recognize real bites vs. current pull

  • React quickly to set the hook

  • Enjoy the fight and land your catch safely

This is your moment — and with a little luck, you’ll land something exciting like a GT, snapper, or barracuda.

4. Optional Add-Ons and Celebrations

Depending on your package, you might:

  • Have your catch cleaned and packed on ice

  • Stay for a beachside BBQ

  • Receive a personalized video of your trip

No matter how the session ends, most guests leave with great memories, amazing photos, and a new favorite way to fish.

Bonus Tips Before You Book

  • Wear beach-appropriate footwear

  • Bring sun protection (hat, glasses, sunscreen)

  • If you booked a morning trip, eat beforehand

  • We recommend travel insurance for all outdoor activities
