The pristine waters off Zapallar’s coast offer some of Chile’s best fishing experiences. These intimate 6-hour excursions combine serious angling with tasty Chilean treats, making them perfect for both fishing enthusiasts and casual adventurers.
I’m especially fond of the private tours from Zapallar Beach, where professional guides (speaking multiple languages) equip you with quality fishing gear and proper safety equipment. What makes these tours stand out is their attention to both sport and sustenance – you’ll enjoy fresh empanadas while spotting the local marine life from your boat.
At Kč 7,626 per person, these tours deliver good value, particularly given the included gear and multilingual guidance. The vegetarian food options and safety measures (including lifeguard and radio) are welcome bonuses.
