Spend the day fishing for Snapper, Kingfish and Wahoo in some of the best fishing grounds in Belize. As an added treat, beach barbecues are included in most tours.
With its pristine waters, abundant marine life, and world-class fishing grounds, Belize is a dream destination for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re trolling the deep blue for powerful game fish or casting your line over the reef for snapper and grouper, the country’s diverse fishing opportunities promise excitement and adventure at every turn.
The waters around Ambergris Caye, Placencia, and Turneffe Atoll are particularly renowned for their variety of fish species and experienced local guides. You’ll find Snapper, Kingfish, Wahoo, Barracuda, and even Mahi-Mahi in these fertile fishing zones, depending on the season. Belize’s warm Caribbean waters provide ideal conditions for both reef and deep-sea fishing, with calm seas and breathtaking scenery.
Many tours are led by skilled local fishermen who know the best spots, bait, and techniques. These full-day excursions often include everything you need—gear, bait, licenses, refreshments—and more. After a rewarding day on the water, many guides will prepare your fresh catch right on the beach. A traditional Belizean beach barbecue, complete with grilled fish, coconut rice, and tropical sides, adds the perfect ending to your fishing adventure.
For fly-fishing enthusiasts, Belize is also known for its catch-and-release flats fishing, especially in the shallow waters of the cayes and atolls. Here, anglers can test their skills against elusive Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon, making Belize part of the legendary “Grand Slam” fishing circuit.
Whether you’re looking for the thrill of reeling in a trophy fish or simply want to enjoy a peaceful day on the water with friends and family, fishing in Belize is an unforgettable experience—made even better with sun, sea, and a sizzling meal on the sand.
