Fishing

The waters off Isla de Margarita are excellent fishing grounds. A day's catch might include any combination of tuna, dorado, marlin, and sailfish. You can hire a guide and a boat for the day, with lunch and beverages, for between $400 and $1,200, depending on the size of the boat, number of fishermen, and game sought; check with your hotel, or call Explore Yachts (tel. 0414/287-7554; www.explore-yachts.com).
