Really great experience. Would recommend.

We really enjoyed this tour. We saw some magnificent birds right from the the start. If you don't already have eBird or the Merlin bird ID app, I recommend those to keep track of all the different species. We saw over 40 different kinds of birds. Our guide was very knowledgable and helpful for spotting and IDing birds, but also the surrounding area, people and culture. We went for lunch at the end (not included in tour) as the perfect way to end the outing and talk about all the birds we saw.

“Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the tour and spotted so many incredible birds. eBird and Merlin are indeed great tools for birdwatching, and we’re glad you found them helpful. It was a pleasure having you on the tour, and we appreciate your enthusiasm for both the wildlife and the local culture. We hope to see you again for another adventure in Sian Ka’an!” 🦉

Great leadership, birds and food.

The best experiences were Fernando’s enthusiasm and great personality as well as the breakfast stop at Rincon’s Mexicana Restorante.
