"Viva Fly Fishing provided the best guiding experience I've ever had. I had the pleasure of going out with Oscar and "Grasshopper", who are both incredibly dialed on the water and really just enjoyable and passionate guys to be on the boat with. Those dudes just know fish, and it was very cool to witness. We got into multiple 100+ lb tarpon before heading to the mangroves, which was an awesome experience all on its own and one I would highly recommend. The fishing was incredible, but the setting and wildlife are simply amazing. Beyond that, I can't speak highly enough about Max. He was incredibly helpful and communicative with transportation and recommendations of things to see/do while we were in Holbox. He has put together a great operation there, and I look forward to getting out with them again if I get the opportunity."

"Had an amazing day with grasshopper, he put me on big tarpon. He is very friendly and very dedicated. I broke my line (my only one) fighting a tarpon and we get back to holbox he take a sprint to his house and bring me his reel with another fly line. Thank you very much for the great day and i recommend him to everybody. Would like to add somme picture but the problem was the fisherman."

"Quelle pêche incroyable. Max est arrangeant et cherche des solutions à tous les problème, compagnie aérienne qui a perdu ma canne, aléas météo. Son équipe est aussi extraordinaire, super sympathique, les gars connaissent leurs affaires, donne les conseils, travaillent fort à trouver le poisson! C'était un super moment avec une belle réussite: 11 tarpon, 2 snook, 1 jack en une demie journée. Merci les boys et attendez vous à me revoir à la saison des gros ;)"

"I brought my fly rod to Holbox on the hope that I might be able to squeeze in a little fly fishing while on vacation with the family. Max, owner of Viva, responded quickly to my message and put me in contact with one of his guides on short notice. Angel "Grasshopper" - this was my guy. I can't say enough about Angel. Angel is absolutely everything you look for in a guide. Not only did I have a great experience, I now have a new friend. Thank you Max and Thank you Grasshopper."

"The walking tour was unique, fun, and enjoyed all of my time with Oscar. Oscar was patient and taught me a lot about the history of the Holbox area and put me on fish. Day 2 was on the boat with my wife — we both landed a tarpon! Grasshopper made every effort to keep us on fish. Both my wife and I got our first tarpon with Viva. I would recommend giving them a call!"

"Fantastic experience! All the way from Max's opening communication through booking, to the fishing, Viva was amazing. Angel our guide was patient and professional. As good of a guide as I could have hoped for. Thanks Viva!"
