The fishing scene in Puerto Escondido packs a serious punch for anglers. This Pacific coast hub delivers five distinct fishing experiences, each with its own appeal.
I particularly love the 5-hour private charter – it’s intimate, well-equipped, and perfect for serious fishers. The 4-hour catch-and-cook tour stands out as a special treat; there’s nothing quite like eating your fresh-caught dorado or marlin right on the beach.
For early risers, the 4-hour sunrise tour offers prime fishing conditions plus fantastic wildlife viewing. Budget-conscious groups should consider the 3-hour deep-sea option, which accommodates up to six people.
The 4.5-hour excursion rounds out the offerings with access to multiple fishing spots and species.
Let’s explore the best fishing tours Puerto Escondido has to offer.
