Our guide Emiliano was great and had very extensive knowledge of the Yucatan's birdlife. We were able to observe 50 different birds - including two species of toucan. At the end, Emiliano gave us a great restaurant recommendation in Tulum and took us out to eat. I can highly recommend the tour.

The birdwatching tour was amazing. Because the location of the tour slightly changed, we had two guides: Miguel and the local guide Axel. We were amazed by the knowledge they had about birds, they could imitate the sounds some birds made to make them come around and knew so much about many different species. Besides, they were very social and knew a lot about nature, wildlife and local culture too. Miguel organised the trip punctually and brought food, coffee, water and very good binoculars. We have seen over 40 different kinds of birds (among which kingfishers, hummimgbirds and tucans) in different places in the jungle and saw a lagoon and cenote as well. We are not experienced birders ourselves, but just generally interested in flora and fauna; this is not a problem at all. Would definitely recommend!

What an incredible birdwatching experience ! My guide Marcelo picked me up at my hotel and we had a nice coffee before starting the tour. He shared with me his incredible knowledge of the area and the birds. His skills to identify calls and birds impressed me. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in birds and mayan culture.
