Coastal Fishing Experience2 adults

We went fishing with this company. It was an inexperienced guide speaking a bit of english who didnt look like he new much about fishing and a young capt who knew more. I asked to go for any speacies that would bite, just to catch something. They insisted on fishing with plastic lures, no live bait. Did not give us good directions on techniques. we tryed a couple of spots, no luck. Good boat, good lunch and drinks.

Response from Captain

Dear Loïc, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your fishing experience did not meet your expectations. On the day of your trip, we first took you to one of our most productive fishing areas, especially known for barracuda and juvenile tarpon. This spot is normally very consistent, and even our local captain — whose family has fished these waters for generations — was surprised by the lack of activity that day. When we saw that the fish were not biting, we decided to move to another area to increase your chances. As a last effort to save the day, we even entered the mangroves to try fly-fishing style casting, even though fly fishing is a separate service and not included in this trip. Unfortunately, fly fishing in this region works best early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and combined with the sudden change in weather and increased swell, the conditions were not favorable. Despite this, we truly did our best to adapt and try different techniques and locations. We appreciate your positive comments about the boat, food, and drinks, and we take your feedback seriously as we continue improving our service. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future. Best regards, Authentic Nature Tours

    Fishing tour

    We recently went on a fishing tour (even though we didn't book through FishingBooker) and it was an excellent experience. The captain truly knows what he's doing, inspires confidence, and knows the area very well. Everything was very well organized. Highly recommended!

    Thank you very much for helping me with a review even though I did not book the tour on this site, it will help me a lot in future bookings.
