The Xcalak National Park has a daily entrance fee and all visitors are required to purchase and wear a bracelet each day they use the Park. Those who are also fishing must purchase a Mexican fishing license available for one week (MXN$ 470), one month (MXN$ 706) or one year (MXN$ 941.) Xcalak National Park is a preserve and all fishing in the preserve is strictly catch and release. The park entrance and fishing license fees are not included in our prices below; we are happy put clients in touch with Park staff who can assist with bracelets and fishing licenses.
You can purchase your Mexican sport fishing license in advance, and pay online with Visa or Mastercard. Sport Fishing Permit
