Panama is home to more than 260 sports fishing records – including a 1600 pound Marlin – more than any country in the world. Panama’s climate and 50 mile distance between two oceans provides a unique opportunity to anglers with year-round fishing in salt and fresh water.
Our Lodge is located along Panama’s Caribbean coast where the crystal clear soft blue waters of Caribbean Sea are home to Panama sports fishing favorites such as the Tarpon, Wahoo, KingFish, AmberJack, Mackerel and Red Snapper. And because we’re also located near the mouth of the Belen River, we can offer sports-anglers the best of both river and offshore fishing.
So whether you’re an expert or a first-time amateur, the abundance of big game fish in our region ensures that all guests of the Belen River Tarpon Lodge can catch a “big one”. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of having a big game fish on the hook. Whether its size, variety, or quantity that matters most to you, there is no doubt that Panama has earned its title as a number one fishing paradise on the planet, and Belen River Tarpon Lodge as one of the best new businesses to enter the Panama sport fishing industry.
