What is Fishin' with a Mission®?
Our Trip
Fishin' with a Mission® is identical to the Sportfishing and Jungle Adventure Packages - except we add one bonus day of Adventure Giving service. The trip is one week of the fishing/adventure followed by a day of humanitarian assistance. You get the enriching opportunity to experience the rainforest jungle, to catch big fish, and to give humanitarian services and resources to developing communities. Request Brochure

Our Mission
We support the mission of AdventureGiving.org and join the worldwide initiative to assist under-privileged communities develop self-sustaining commerce, education, and health, through the humanitarian assistance of adventure travelers, anglers, and socially responsible organizations. Interestingly, 3.6 million people go on international fishing and adventure-travel vacations every year... What if you and another 1% of the adventure-travel population added one day of humanitarian mission to your fishin', the $60 million impact would be world changing...

  • Testimonials

    "The trip was outstanding - the fishing, food, people, and accommodations.  To experience the Amazon and its culture is worth the trip in itself. I would go back in a heartbeat." Barry Hecker, Retired NBA Coach

    "The trip was absolutely amazing... Ben and Naldo did everything they said they'd do, and they exceded my expectations." David Gaw, Estate Attorney, Napa Valley

    "My trip to the Amazon was one of the best and most fun experiences I have ever had!"  Jason Shields, Marketing Analyst

    “The Amazon was amazing in and of itself and the fishing was fun, but to be able to see that part of the world and interact with the people was the best part. My brother-in-law and I provided funding [for Franceline] to get her started [with a small food vending service]. It amazes me that a little bit of money can make such a dramatic impact.” Bruce Hall, Civil Engineer

    "There is one word to describe the Amazon: WILD! I thought that after going to Africa it wouldn’t be as much of a shock, but I wasn’t prepared for all the crazy animals and fish I saw."  Madison Egbert, Adventure Traveler

    "Everyone is all smiles and talking about the trip of a lifetime. Everyone wants to know when we’re going back." Tod Becker, 20+ lb Peacock Bass Club, Micro-Lender
