“We had a fantastic fishing trip! It was for my husband and me and our 6 kids ranging in age from 11-21. It was for 4 hours. They were on time picking us up and were very helpful. We all caught barracudas (including one that Francisco said would have won first place in a contest - he called it the "Big Papa" barracuda) and also caught some yellowtail snapper. We went to a restaurant after and they made us fish tacos to eat with our fish grilled up. Was great - would recommend 100%! No snacks on the trip so bring your own if you want to snack but plenty…”

4.Local Fishing Plus Snorkeling Tour in Isla Mujeres

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 57 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Spend four hours on a private Isla Mujeres trip, with about two hours of fishing followed by 90 minutes of snorkeling. Your guide supplies fishing gear, bait, licenses, and snorkeling equipment. Juan has helped guests spot fish and a stingray, while captain Theo has kept the ride relaxed. Price: $408.58 for up to five, plus a $5-per-person dock fee.

“We had an amazing time with Island Adventures on the private snorkeling and fishing tour. Snorkeling near a quiet reef with no other boats around was incredible, and our guide Juan pointed out so many fish and even a stingray. He also walked me through how to bait the hook during the fishing portion, which was fun to learn. Theo, our captain, kept everything smooth and relaxed from start to finish. The water in Isla Mujeres is bluer than any pool I’ve ever seen, and with calm seas and sunny skies, it was the perfect day. Highly recommend!”
