The fishing scene in Playa Hermosa delivers serious value for serious anglers. Standard private sport fishing tours accommodate five people at $700, while deep-sea adventures run $900 for six guests – both inclusive of gear, permits, and refreshments. I’m particularly fond of the half-day deep-sea option, which hits the water at 8 AM and consistently produces excellent catches of red snapper and mahi-mahi. For budget-conscious travelers, the $260 per-person inshore trips from El Coco offer a more economical but equally rewarding experience. Let’s explore the standout fishing tours that make Playa Hermosa special.
