For clients who are looking for a unique experience when coming to Belize, Twin Centre's is one of our most popular trips; you start at San Pedro and finish at Water Caye, giving you some of the best Tarpon, Bonefish and amazing chances at Permit.

San Pedro is a warm, friendly town that defines the word "casual." With only 10 streets, most people get around the village by walking or riding a bike. Until the last decade the fly fishing around this area had been a well-guarded secret. However, once news of the quality of the Tarpon and Bone fishing started to get out, the area became world famous in just a few short years. There are few better places on earth to fish for Tarpon because when these fish start to migrate out onto the flats and channels, they provide the fly angler with great opportunities for sight casting.

For the second part you move twelve miles off the coast of Dangriga. Here sits an idyllic island with some unbelievable saltwater flats, where Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon can be found in great abundance. The entire area is littered with small mangrove islands and tidal grass flats that hold a huge variety of game fish. The Permit fishing in particular is nothing short of incredible and it’s not uncommon to see 25 to 40 Permit per day. There are also several schools of Bonefish that live around the island and you can wade out on the flats behind the resort to get the kinks out of your casting stroke, while casting to tailing fish. Because of its proximity to the reef, Water Caye is a great base for those looking to try their luck with some of the larger species found in Belizean waters. Huge Barracuda, Mutton and Dog Snapper, Jack Crevalle, and several species of Grouper can all be fished for during the course of your week.

Angling Direct Holidays has combined this great destination and great fishing with great accommodation. We have planned everything for you down to the last detail. Guests will fly from the International Airport in Belize City before catching a short flight to San Pedro. For your time in San Pedro you will stay at the Tides Beach Resort. The second half of your trip you will catch a short flight from San Pedro to the coastal town of Dangriga via Belize Municipal Aiprort . These scenic flights are only 15 minutes each long so before you know it you're descending from the clouds and approaching the Dangriga airstrip. From there, a waiting taxi will take you the short ride down to the waterfront where you will catch the water-taxi out to the island. As you take in the scenery on the half-hour boat ride from Dangriga, you will begin to get a sense of the fly fishing opportunities that await you here.
