For more than 30 years, Turneffe Flats has been recognised as one of the finest saltwater destinations in the world, but particularly so when it comes to permit fishing, which the area is renowned for. 

The diverse fishery, with the opportunity to land bonefish, permit and tarpon on any given day, sets Turneffe Flats apart from other destinations.

Additionally, Turneffe is home to large migratory tarpon between May and October with resident tarpon caught throughout the year.
