Spend two hours fishing around Isla Mujeres, then snorkel for 90 minutes among coral, angel fish, parrot fish, blue tang, and possible stingrays. Your private group of up to five gets a licensed guide, boat equipment, bait, water, fish cleaning, and flexible attention. Juan and captain Theo have helped make past trips relaxed and hands-on.

“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!”

There were NO life preservers, NO radio, NO fishing equipment except for 6 fishing poles and 2 plastic chairs on the back of the boat! Although Capitan Ronny and his mates kept 5 rods in the water the only chance to catch a fish was when they saw a Marlin fin above the surface!
