Fly Fishing the Riviera Maya of the Yucatan
The sleepy Mexican fishing village of Punta Allen, known as the permit capital of the world, is the setting for this amazing fishing Adventure! Located close enough to Cancun to be convenient, but far enough away to avoid the crowds, Punta Allen boasts miles of deserted white sand beaches, and the surrounding Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve provides excellent habitat for Permit, Bonefish, and juvenile Tarpon. We will arrive in Cancun and immediately head South through the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Punta Allen. We will spend 4 full days on the flats fishing from boats with local guides while staying 6 nights at an intimate lodge in Punta Allen, with one day of community service, wade fishing, and beach games.

Flies, tackle, tips, food and beverage, lodging, and transport to and from Cancun to Punta Allen are included in the trip price. Roundtrip airfare to Cancun is not included.

Our two teenaged boys love the Lillard Fly Fishing Expeditions! My wife and I have been very impressed with the management. If you have a child that is into fishing and the outdoors, I highly recommend Lillard Fly Fishing.This is a top notch program. Our two boys look forward to it every summer!
