4 Nights / 3.5 Days Fishing Trip (double occupancy)
Staff Gratuity = $100 (per angler)
Guide Gratuity = $100 (please tip double this amount if fishing SINGLE)
TOTAL: $200 (per angler)
NOTE: An envelope is provided for each angler at the end of the stay for the staff gratuity. We kindly ask you to tip your guide directly at the end of your last fishing session.
