Fly Fishing

Whenever you think of fly fishing, you think of Belize! The jewel is a top choice, especially in the shallow flats around Ambergris Caye, Turneffe Atoll, Placencia, and Punta Gorda. Imagine looking in the clear waters and behold, you spot your target! Now, you’ll strategize how to outsmart your fishy opponent on your quest to be one fortunate to get a grand slam! Anglers travel globally to chase the “grand slam”-bonefish, tarpon, and permit. Go on a fly-fishing expedition so you can earn your bragging rights!

Reef Fishing

Belize doesn’t just boast about the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere for nothing! Enjoy the gleaming coastal waters inside the Belize Barrier Reef for an offshore getaway. Throw your line to hook a snapper, grouper, mackerel, or barracuda! These species are amusing to catch and often plentiful, making it a wonderful experience for first-timers and seasoned anglers.

Deep Sea Fishing

If you seek thrill and adventure, deep-sea fishing is the way to go! Journey beyond the reef, the home of powerful pelagic species like blue marlin, sailfish, wahoo, and kingfish. Test your strength and stamina for a day of catch-and-release extravaganza! Do you like to get competitive? Every year, anglers eagerly await the Grand Caribe Fishing Tournament to check out marine hotspots for a chance to win attractive cash prizes. Call on your friends to make a great team, whether it’s a competition or leisure time together.

River Fishing

Troll your line in the winding rivers of Belize as you bask in the surrounding wildlife around you. Opt for a serene experience with the family, fishing for tarpon, snook, snapper, and jack. If your company is more into adventure and you’re there for moral support, river fishing also makes an amusing nature tour. You can spot crocodiles, turtles, howler monkeys, and birds!

Belize is the “reel” deal for fishing exploration, and it is perfect to spend quality time with your family and friends! Plan your trip to Belize to experience the various types of fishing all year round.
