Private Fishing Tour from Isla Holbox (up to 6 pax)

This is a private fishing trip from Isla Holbox that lasts four hours and takes up to six people. You go out with an experienced local fisherman, try for small and medium fish, and finish the day with ceviche prepared by your captain.

You meet your captain at the pier in Isla Holbox and board the boat, which heads to the fishing spots he considers best. Once the boat anchors, you do some bottom fishing with hand lines while your guide shows you the fishing techniques as you go.

Because the tour is private, the attention is personal rather than shared with a crowd. Among the fish you can expect to catch are sea bass, grouper, snapper, blonde, Chac Chi and mojarra, among others, in small and larger sizes.

After fishing comes the part many people remember: you learn how to prepare ceviche the way locals in Holbox make it, and then you eat it. Fish ceviche and guacamole are part of the tour, along with bottled water and soft drinks.

The trip suits all fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers, or those with poor cardiovascular health. Fishing equipment is provided, so you do not need to bring your own.

Food beyond what is included and gratuities are not covered. Public transportation options are available nearby, which helps if you are staying somewhere on the island and heading to the pier.
