What is the Family Tour (Sport Fishing)?

This tour is the perfect introduction to the world of sport fishing, designed especially for families and beginners. It’s a fun, relaxed day on the calm waters of the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. The main goal here is to spend quality time together, learn the basics of fishing, and enjoy the thrill of getting a bite.

We use simple and effective fishing methods (such as light trolling or live bait) to target local species like snapper, croaker, jack, or barracuda. Our expert guide will make sure everyone—especially children—participates and learns safely. With a bit of luck, you’ll even take home your own dinner!

Note: This tour is ideal for families with children and anyone who wants to experience sport fishing in an accessible, fun way—without the pressure of complicated techniques. Fun is guaranteed!
