Belize River Fishing Tours

FAMILY-FRIENDLY FISHING TOURS ON THE RIO GRANDE IN BELIZE

The Rio Grande provides a relaxed Belize river fishing adventure. Copal Tree Lodge offers a three-hour tour that starts at the lodge and explores the river, home to tarpon, snook, snapper, jacks, and other indigenous species. As we venture deep into the jungle, you may catch glimpses of howler monkeys and crocodiles.

Families and semi-serious anglers will find our river fishing trips perfect for connecting with nature and exploring the Belizean jungle under the guidance of our experienced local captain. The Rio Grande Fishing Tour boat accommodates up to 4 people. For seasoned anglers, we recommend a fly fishing experience.

Our fishing tours take place in protected marine reserves and national parks, where we emphasize catch-and-release practices to protect Belize's fragile ecosystems. When you stay with us, you experience exceptional river fishing and contribute to preserving our fisheries for generations to come.
