Amazing experience, with an awesome and friendly guide!

Bernard_A, Feb 2026

This tour was amazing! I had never been birdwatching before, but José made the experience so special. Our tour was just us (my partner and I), and we got to go all around Mazatlan spotting birds from multiple different environments. We ventured out to the countryside, then went to the water, and even downtown. The car was air conditioned and very comfortable, and José provided everything we needed: snacks, water, and very good binoculars. He also has a telescope as well for the very far birds. Super knowledgeable about birding, speaks good English, and was very accepting of our limited Spanish. This wasn’t just a birding tour, it was a whole city tour. There was a little bit of walking, but nothing that was difficult. If you have any interest in birds, wildlife, or flora, definitely book this, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing trip with Juan Ramos. Saw so many birds. He even ended up rescuing a hawk that was caught up in a bramble bush. He was able to free her and she flew off. A memory I will never forget.

Best Bird Tour Ever!

First of all, Jose Ramon and Giselle picked me up at my condo. We didn’t have to go far to start seeing many birds. I could tell that birding is their passion, and they had a lot of experience. They are both very educated and experienced and know MZT very well. I felt very safe with them, understood and they shared so much of their knowledge and experience with me. I highly recommend this tour! The binoculars they provided were excellent! They had a spotting scope that allowed me to see the birds up close. We saw 82 birds!!!!Bring your camera, too.

We are a birder and a non-birder and we both had a great morning viewing birds in and around Mazatlán. A quarry, an estuary, and a park all provided a great variety of birds (40-50 in all). Shorebirds, ducks, storks, frigate birds, warblers, and much more. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the birds, and was able to point out so many around us. He also included general information about the places we visited. It was definitely the best day of our week-long stay in Mazatlán.

Sarah_I, Jan 2025

I purchased this experience for my 22-year-old son as part of a birthday gift. We were on a cruise and stopped in Mazatlan for a day. This was the highlight of my son‘s vacation. And he frequently references all of the birds and other animals that he saw. The hosts were amazing and it was a great experience all around.

Go birding!!!

Heidi_B, Jan 2025

We had a wonderful day of bird watching! We’re first time bird watchers curious about the birds and wildlife in the area. Not only was the tour amazingly informative but we saw parts of Mazatlan that we would have never seen otherwise. Jose Ramon was a fabulous guide and his enthusiasm and expertise shone through as he toured us around the beautiful wetlands of Mazatlan. We’re so glad we found this tour and had the chance to do something totally different than we would normally do in Mazatlan. Don’t miss this one!

Birdwatching in Mazatlan

Edward_G, Apr 2024

We enjoyed a wetland (lake) and a dry area in the hills and a small stream with numerous shore birds. Excellent day and Ramon was quite knowledgable

Great birding

Mike_R, Feb 2024

Jose was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the local birds and birding spots. Excellent experience I saw several lifers.

Amazing Bird Trip! You should book it!

Liza_M, Feb 2024

I went out yesterday with José Ramon to bird watch. First of all, he is very knowledgeable and experienced. He knows what he’s seeing and is great at spotting birds. He picked me up at the hotel and delivered me back at the end. He had water and snacks and best of all binoculars for me to use. We saw 76 birds — 62 were lifers for me! What a great trip. I would book again without hesitation!

Jose the bird whisperer

Robert_M, Feb 2024

We had a wonderful morning with Jose. He found 74 birds for us! The morning walk was filled with bird song! Jose is extremely knowledgeable and so pleasant to be with. Highly recommend his tour. Thanks Jose for sharing with us .

Birding. A new hobby Thanks to our guide.

Christine_I, Feb 2024

Jose was wonderful. It was our first birding experience and his enthusiasm and knowledge made it so much fun. He was very aware of our needs as older people and tried to make it a wonderful experience. We will do it again

Fantastic bird watching morning. 82 species!!

Suzan_M, Jan 2024

Jose Ramon's knowledge, and the birding locations he took me too were excellent. We saw 82 different species is the approximately 4 hours we were out together. That was so exciting for me! He was right on time for the pickup. His car was comfortable and spotlessly clean. He'd brought extra drinks and snacks. And he was very considerate of mobility, and a bathroom break. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
