| QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE TRANSPORTATION |
|
How is the road to the departure
point-fishing lodge?
The highway from your hotel to Tulum is very good highway.
Then the road turns into “bad road” giving
a whole new definition to the term “bad road.”
Now while the road is bad – full of potholes - some
the size of your car, it is a beautiful drive along the
Caribbean coast line. You will enjoy view, and the ride,
well, the ride is an adventure and part of the reason
the fishing is so good.
What vehicle will we traveling
in to the lodge?
You will be picked up at your hotel in an air-conditioned
van for your ride to the lodge where you will have breakfast
before departure.
| QUESTIONS ABOUT
RESERVATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS |
|
How do I know you have space
available?
If you reserve 7 to 10 days in advance you have
a 100% chance we have space for you. We recommend you
send in your reservation, complete with your credit card
information, and if space is not available we will call
or email you with when space is available. So be sure
to include your phone number on your reservation form.
Is it possible to make a reservation
when I get to Cancun?
We do recommend you make your reservations as
far in advance as possible so that you are sure to get
the trip when you want to go. During the high season from
January to August there are many times we have no space
available 2-3 days in advance. To make your reservation
once you arrive in Cancun call us at 898-4312 or if you
are outside Cancun call us at 01-998-898-4312, and from
the states 1-800-860-5917.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel any trip or tour up to 24 hours
before departure and only pay a 5% administrative processing
fee. If the trip or tour is cancelled by the operator
you will receive a 100% refund or we will reschedule at
your request. Click
Here! To see all Cancellation and Change Policy.
Is the pricing on the website
correct?
Yes. The prices are accurate and complete meaning
that there are no additional charges. Our guarantee is
that you will not pay more than that published price on
our website. At the end of the tour a tip is optional
and is generally 10% - 15% of the price depending on how
much you like the tour and the service provided.
I send in a reservation with
my credit card and what happens?
Once you send a reservation we confirm that there
is space available. Then we charge your card. We then
put the confirmation number on a coupon or voucher and
send it to you in an email. You print it and that is your
paid receipt for the tour. You present the coupon at check
in.
Should I send in my credit card
with the reservation?
Yes because you have a much better chance of
getting the tour the less time that goes by before the
departure. If there is no space available we will not
charge your credit card but advise when the tour is available
closest to the date you want. If you send in a reservation
form without a credit card number inquiring about availability
then we respond, simply more time passes giving the tour
more time to fill up. Again once you are ready to reserve
it is best to send your reservation with a credit card.
Please remember no reservation is made until we have payment
via your credit card or by other means.
How can I check the status of
my reservation?
It is our objective that you know what is happening
with your reservation. We will send you an update if we
are going to be than 48 hours getting you a response.
If 48 hours has gone by and you have gotten no update
or coupon please call 1-800-860-5917 from the USA and
Canada or +52-998-898-4312 from the rest of the world.
If you are already in Cancun our local number is 898-4312
and if you are outside Cancun dial 01-998-898-4312.

The greatest pleasure in bone fishing is to spot the fish, cast, see the fish following the fly, feel the hit, set the hook and hold on, as you listen to the scream of the reel as a bonefish, pound per pound stronger than most fish, strips off line… What a thrill!
Now you can have this pleasure and the pleasure of fishing for Permit, Tarpon, Snook, and Barracuda in the beautiful and rugged Boca Pila Bay - Ascension Bay Area - all from your hotel in Cancun, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya.
You are fishing one of the truly great locations left in the world, home to more grand slams - permit, tarpon and bonefish all in the same day, than any other place.
Variety is the word to describe Ascension Bay and Boca Paila flats. There are hundreds of square miles where it's common to see bonefish, permit, and barracuda in the same day, all year round! With seasons for migrants tarpon and snook. That's why probably more Grand Slams have been caught here.
