The trip

The boat leaves the village at 5:30 AM, when the canals are calm and the wildlife is active. The ride to the lagoon takes about an hour, so the morning is a wildlife trip as well.

At the lagoon your guide shows you how to fish with a hand line. The whole trip lasts 4 to 6 hours.

Who it is for

Beginners and experienced anglers alike: you need no equipment and no experience. The tour is for at least 2 people.

We confirm your booking on WhatsApp before you arrive, and you pay at Hotel Serendipity in Tortuguero.
