Yes, complimentary round-trip ground transportation is fully included for guests staying at resorts located inside the Cancun Hotel Zone, downtown Cancun, and the Playa Mujeres district. Travelers staying in the Riviera Maya must meet our downtown meeting spot..

Our full-day flats excursions are highly customized to maximize clear sight-casting opportunities over glassy sand keys and secluded mangrove lagoons.

Logistics, Transport, and Shuttle Scheduling

Because the protected saltwater flats of Isla Blanca are located in a remote area north of the hotel zone, transportation is included from th eresort or our downtown meeting spot.

Not Staying in Cancun: Anglers staying farther south are responsible for meeting our vehicle at a designated downtown meeting spot.
