About this tour

Isla Blanca lies 45 to 50 minutes north of Cancun and is one of the most prized fly fishing areas in the Mexican Caribbean: shallow flats with sand and mangrove where you sight the fish before casting.

Target species are tarpon (10 to 40 lb), snook (5 to 25), bonefish (1 to 5), permit (3 to 20), barracuda (1 to 15) and sea trout (1 to 4).

You fish from a private boat for one or two anglers, with a guide who specialises in the area. Only four guides work these flats, and reading them is what makes the difference between seeing fish and catching them.

Full day or half day

The full day is 7 hours and includes 3 waters, 3 soft drinks and 2 sandwiches per person. The half day is 4 hours, with water and soft drinks on board.
