These waters are known for Bonefish, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Ladyfish, Permit, Mullet Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Snook, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

4 Hour Trip – Bávaro Reef (AM) on August 13, 2026

Had an amazing morning session with Javier which included pick up from my hotel that made the whole process so much smoother and enjoyable. Had a successful session with multiple yellowtail snapper and blue runner. A bonus TARPON at the end put the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend this trip over deep sea fishing if you experience sea sickness and prefer a catch and release and what i’d say more exciting fishing as someone who has also caught a blue marlin out at sea this same holiday. The kayaks are well equipped which makes the fishing so much easier and beginner friendly but also exciting for the more experienced fisherman. Would be a great activity for the family or a few friends looking to catch some exciting fish of all species.

This was my wifes first time in a kayak, my first time fishing in one and being on the ocean on one. We had a wonderful time, caught fish, and had great service. The captian was polite, showed enthusiasm, and and made great suggestions. 10 out of 10, highly recommend! If i make it back to Punta Cana or Cap Cana, i will be doing this again.

Great Trip Overall
4 Hour Trip – Bávaro Reef (AM) on July 10, 20262 adults

I had a blast with Javier! it was my first time kayak fishing, which is an experiene in itself. I really wanted to hunt for Tarpon and Javier got me on them after we fished the reef for a while. Didnt land a Tarpon, but hooked into one, which was one of the coolest fishing experiences I have had. I cannot wait to go back!
