Malvavisco and Fly dreamers, side by side.
Fly dreamers connects fishing guides, lodges and outfitters with travel agencies and handles their bookings. Malvavisco runs the lodge itself: rooms, guides and boats, the kitchen, the bar and the bill. Both speak Spanish and Portuguese. Here is how they differ.
What each one offers
Fly dreamers’ column comes from its own website, checked in October 2026, with a link for each row. Its details may have changed since.

When to choose each
Choose Fly dreamers if…
- Much of your business comes from travel agencies and you want them to book your calendar directly
- You need to take payments online from clients abroad
- You are an independent guide or a small outfitter and want a low monthly price
- Your business is fishing only
Choose Malvavisco if…
- The lodge itself is the hard part: rooms, guided days, boats, meals and the bar every night
- Guides must be matched by skills and languages, and boats or trucks must never be double-booked
- The kitchen and the bar should work from tickets that land on the guest’s bill
- You run more than fishing: hunting, horseback riding or eco tourism
Using both
Fly dreamers is strongest at selling and Malvavisco at running the stay. They are not connected, so bookings from one would be entered in the other by hand.
Fly dreamers alternatives
No. Its FAQ says it is a B2B software-as-a-service platform and does not sell trips; it connects guides, lodges and outfitters with booking agents.
Its pricing page lists $10 a month for guides, $150 for outfitters and $250 for lodges; travel agencies use it for free. Every plan starts with 15 free trial bookings.
For running the lodge, yes. For reaching travel agencies through a shared network or taking online payments, no: Malvavisco does not have those yet.
Yes, for free. Malvavisco has no self-serve import tool, so our team sets up your rooms, rates, services, guides and assets, enters your upcoming bookings with their deposits and loads your guest list from what Fly dreamers exports. Past bookings stay in Fly dreamers.
Fly dreamers publishes its website in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Malvavisco’s staff app runs in English, Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese.
