Blue Horizon Fly Fishing

Day Trip Rates

In 1997, iconic Belizean fly fishing guide Lincoln Westby started Blue Horizon Lodge in the deep in heart of the best permit fishing in the region. For decades Blue Horizon Lodge was the preferred destination for hardcore permit anglers who desired the most advantageous conditions for maximizing their experience and productivity. These days Blue Horizon Belize is a full service outfitter offering half day and full day trips throughout southern Belize. The guide team is still led by Lincoln, who has hand picked and trained many of the guides on the Blue Horizon team. You won’t find more experienced, professional, and driven guides than Lincoln’s team.

Full day trips and half day trips depart daily from Hopkins, the Placencia peninsula, and from island resorts between Hopkins and Placencia villages. We can even accommodate cruise ship guests, with our special “cruise ship” trip. Start times and locations are set at the time of your booking, and are set to maximize your day on the water. We will set the pick up location in a convenient local to where you will be staying. In some cases, we can pick you up from your resort or hotel dock.
