FISHING, EXCURSIONS & SNORKELING IN XCALAK

Fly Fishing

Xcalak has been a favorite destination for fly-fishing. Long before the new paved highway, fishermen made the 3-hour trek from Mahajual just to fish the pristine flats that surround this area. Year round, we catch and release bonefish, tarpon, permit, and more. Our captains are experienced fly-fishing guides and will be happy to take you to the best locations in one of our 25-foot panga boats.

Prices:
Half day $150 US, Full Day $250 US. Price includes drinks, snacks, guide, and marine park wrist band fees; but you will need to bring your own fly fishing equipment.

Trolling

This area has been renowned for its fantastic fly-fishing, yet few people have tried the wonderful trolling. Year round, we catch sierra, jacks, tuna, barracuda, grouper, snapper, permit, and tarpon. During April through June, we also catch lots of dorado, marlin, and sailfish.

Prices:
2 hours $100 US, $45 additional hours. Price includes two poles, lures, drinks, an experienced captain, and marine park wrist band fees.

Bird Island

A magical 5 hour nature watching trip! You will stop to snorkel at different locations in the ocean and the Bacalar Chico River. Once you enter the Bay of Chetumal, you will travel through ancient Mayan canals that were once part of a trade route. You can stop on one island and see an abandoned antique steam engine (nobody really knows where it came from or what it is doing in the middle of Chetumal Bay). Also, you may visit the canons from a Spanish galleon that was stranded during a hurricane. Your final destination is a small island where many rare species of birds nest. This trip allows you to see the diversity of ecosystems that surround Xcalak- if you are really lucky, you may even spot a manatee!!!

Prices Per Person US:

	5 Hour Bird Island
2 snorkelers	$55
3 snorkelers	$40
4-5 snorkelers	$35

San Pedro Trip

Enjoy a day trip to neighboring Belize! Ambergis Key is just a few miles south of Xcalak. San Pedro, the bustling metropolis at the south end of the key, offers a bit more "civilization", shopping, and restaurants. The scenic boat ride takes about 1 1/2 hours each way.

This trip is $200 USD for 1-5 passengers or $40.00 per passender up to 8 passengers plus tax for the boat, captain, and a maximum of 8 passengers. Immigration fees not included.
