Great Birding Tour

Doris_F, Sep 2026

The Sunrise tour was fantastic. Our guide, Andres, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw many birds and the mangroves were beautiful. Since it was early, we did not see any other people in the forest during our tour which made it especially nice. We had four in our group and there was only one other couple on the tour with us.

Magical!!

This is a can’t miss experience for anyone who wants to get away from the noise of Cancun and immerse themselves in a serene nature experience. Andres is a wonderful guide who is clearly devoted to the preservation of Cancun’s mangrove eco-system. Saw many beautiful birds, fish, and multiple stingrays! Worth the early wake up!

Great experience & great value

Wonderful experience! We ended up starting early at 6 AM in order to catch the sunrise. The guide took wonderful photos and sent us some. The tour is a ton of fun and great value for money! highly recommend to anyone visiting Cancun!

This trip was a highlight of our honeymoon - waking up early was absolutely worth it. Andrés was incredibly knowledgeable & so passionate about the environment and wildlife that it was inspiring to be around. Being out on the open water was so peaceful and we were able to experience a ton of marine life (like a giant stingray right under our boat and listening to a tiger heron). This is the real thing, focused on what Cancún really has to offer, and was not touristy or packed with people. We had such a fun time learning from Andrés, and highly recommend this trip!!
