8 Fishing and Snorkeling Trips in Mexico Worth Booking

1.Local Fishing Plus Snorkeling Tour in Isla Mujeres

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

Spend about four hours on a private Isla Mujeres boat with a licensed guide, fishing for the catch of the day before snorkeling over coral and tropical fish. Juan may help with bait and spotting wildlife, while captain Theo keeps the trip moving at an easy pace. Fishing gear, snorkel gear, bait, water, and fish cleaning are included.

“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!”
