But be warned, it is addictive and so don’t expect it to be one of those “been there done that” type of things! Been their before? Then you know what to expect and probably want to go back!

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE LOGISTICS
Your flight to Venezuela will arrive in the capital city of Caracas. You will overnight in Caracas and fly out to Los Roques the next morning. As soon as you clear customs in Caracas, we will be met by a member of the Sight Cast team. Guests will be driven to the hotel which is about a 15 minute car ride from the airport. You will overnight and then fly out to Los Roques early the next morning, usually on the 7 am flight. A car and driver will pick you up at the hotel and take you to the airport for the flight to Los Roques. Once you arrive on Gran Roque you will be met by a member of the Sight Cast staff and escorted the short 5 minute walk from the airstrip to the hotel. After a quick breakfast you will be ready to hit the flats and your guide for the trip will be eagerly waiting to take you out on your first day.
ACCOMMODATION
The Posada Acuarela (www.posadaacuarela.com) is our base while fishing Los Roques. Acuarela has the best food on the island and provides the most comfortable accommodation available. We will also overnight near the Airport at Caracas in comfortable hotel accommodation.
BOATS AND EQUIPMENT
Sight Cast have several 28 foot skiffs powered by Yamaha four stroke outboards. These vessels have a large casting platform at the front and are able to handle rough conditions. All fly gear must be brought with you as there are no tackle shops on the island. We would recommend 8 weight outfits for the bonefish and 10-12 weight outfits for the tarpon. The Flyfisher will assist with a fly selection and we will have emergency gear available.
