Isla Holbox: On the northern coast of the Yucatan in the Gulf of Mexico is the Island of Holbox (pronounced
Holbosch). The flats near the island are home to giant migratory tarpon during from May to September with smaller
fish available year round. The lodge is Faro Viejo located on the beach at the edge of town and offers beautiful
accommodations and excellent food in a beautiful beach front setting. Long been a quiet getaway for the avid
beachcomber and birding enthusiast, Holbox is also a tarpon addicts Mecca. Tarpon have always been here but few
fishermen ever have fished these waters. This lack of pressure makes it much more likely that a huge tarpon will eat
your fly and rocket 6 feet in the air while your jaw hangs open in awe.
Isla Blanca: North of Cancun but south of Isla Holbox is the Chacmuchuk Lagoon. On the East side of the lagoon
is a strip of land called Isla Blanca. Not really an island but it is pretty close. An decent road connects the area to
Cancun. It is the only destination that will be suitable for day trips out of Cancun. We can provide accommodations at
Isla Blanca Lodge or in Cancun. If you already have accommodations in Cancun still call to see if we can arrange a
day trip for you. If you are staying in Cancun your guide will pick you up before dawn and drive about an hour north to
the boat launch. From there it is about another 30 minutes to the prime areas of the Lagoon. If you are staying at Isla
Blanca then you will eliminate all travel time! The fishing is year round for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Barracuda, Snook
and many other fish. This is grand slam country. The flats are not as wadeable as the ones in Ascension Bay so most
of the fishing is from the boat.
