Fishing and Snorkeling in Cabo Catoche: Fresh Ceviche Lunch
Snorkeling & Fishing in Cabo Catoche, Isla Holbox
Snorkeling & Fishing in Cabo Catoche, Isla Holbox★★★★★★★★★★ 3.67 (3)5hThis five-hour snorkeling and fishing activity departs Isla Holbox for Cabo Catoche, where you fish using traditional Mexican methods, then snorkel the same waters to see turtles, octopuses, lobsters and sharks. The boat picks you up, a guide in English or Spanish teaches the fishing, and the captain prepares ceviche from your catch for lunch. Weather can affect snorkel visibility, and the activity is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries or serious cardiovascular conditions.Is it for me?Book this if you're staying on Isla Holbox without a car—pickup is included, and the boat does the transport. The five-hour window fits a half-day plan without eating your whole day, and you're fishing and snorkeling the same waters rather than watching someone else do it.Free cancellationfromUS$ 118View ›

Snorkeling at Cabo Catoche: Fishing, Ceviche & Manta Rays★★★★★★★★★★ 4.67 (3)5h 10mSnorkeling tour from Cabo Catoche with fishing, snorkel gear and ceviche included—a half-day that starts with casting for grouper and snapper, moves to a reef site where manta rays and nurse sharks swim close, and ends on a quiet beach with fresh fish ceviche and hammocks. The guide speaks English and Spanish; children from age 3 are welcome. All equipment and transport by boat are included.Is it for me?The tour moves between three stops—fishing, snorkeling, and beach—so you're active at each one rather than watching from the boat.
