Soaking in the sun, exploring the blue waters, and enjoying beautiful sandy beaches – Tarpon fishing in Belize is a complete experience! Spice up your vacation with some amazing fishing. With bountiful river mouths, creeks, bays, and estuaries, fishing for the “Silver King” has never been so productive.

You can expect Tarpon to show up in April, heating up over the summer months before their numbers start dropping in September. No matter where you go, Belize will provide you with a memorable experience. Sea kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming in crystal clear waters are great additional activities to explore.

Ambergris Caye is fly anglers’ favorite destination in Belize, with abundant schools of Tarpon. In Belize City, the Belize and Sibun Rivers are home to some huge specimens of this prized fish. The southern inshore waters are known for some of the largest Silver Kings caught in the country, while Glover’s Reef is a world-famous Tarpon fishery.

On a half day trip, you’ll spend a few hours exploring the saltwater flats, while on a full day trip, the shallows will allow you to enjoy a whole day of fun and adventure. Catching a big Tarpon on the fly is a feat everyone should try at least once, so take advantage of this exciting opportunity!

Note that all Tarpon fishing is strictly catch-and-release, and fishing with scuba gear is not allowed. You must have a Belize sportfishing license, and you can get one from Belize’s Coastal Zone Management Authority (CZMA) before your trip.
