General Information
A small, virgin island with beautiful white sand beaches, surrounded by a magnificent turquoise colored sea, Isla Holbox is blessed with one of the world’s outstanding tarpon habitats. Here in the shallow mangrove lagoons, creeks and flats you will find baby tarpon (5 to 15 pounds) and snook throughout the year. However, it is the migratory fish that make Holbox a unique fly-fishing destination.

In April, migrating fish arrive to feed in the clear water of the shallows. During June, July, and August the fishing for large tarpon in the 75 to the 190-pound range is fantastic. In addition to tarpon and snook, bonefish, barracuda, snapper, permit, and jack crevalle are also occasionally found in area waters during the spring and summer months.

Boats and Equipment
The fishing boats are seaworthy 18-foot pangas, fully equipped for your comfort and safety.
