Great Birding Expedition! - My wife and I were very pleased with our guide, Lugo, for our Birdwatching Cancun expedition this February. The company communicated very well about our pickup time, arrived promptly, and it was only a twenty-minute drive from our Excellence Riviera Resort to the birding site. We appreciated the small group size of six participants. We walked on rough roads in the Yucatan back-country, our exercise tracker recording about 7000 steps, with a stop halfway through for snacks provided by Lugo. We are casual birders, and Lugo was very helpful to birders of all experience levels on our tour. Lugo recorded all 47 of the bird species we observed on “ebird”, and sent us the list after the tour, which included Red-throated Ant-tanagers, Yellow-throated Euphonias, Black-headed Trogons, Turquois-browed Mot-mots, Pygmy Owls, many others. This trip was a memorable present for my 70th birthday. Highly recommended!

Highlight of our trip! Thanks Lugo - This was the perfect birding excursion from Cancun. Transportation was seamless. Our guide was such an expert and helped us spot over 40 species in just a few hours. I will do this every time I’m in the area. I can’t say enough good things

45 bird species in 2 hours. - Lugo was a great birding guide! We saw 45 different species of birds that were new lifers! He recorded the entire list for us so all we had to do was look and watch the birds! He had a great laser pointer that was helpful in pointing out the birds so we could see them before they flew away. Hope we get and opportunity to com back!

Definitely Book It! - We had a fantastic time with Carlos who gave us a little history mixed in with a lot of knowledge on local birds. We are beginner photographer/birders and Carlos was gave us some lessons and helpful pointers and catered the tour to our level since it was just the 3 of us. Loved seeing 58 different species including the motmot, toucans, parkeets, trogan, woodpecker, hawk, hummingbird, flycatcher, oriole, warblers, and bunting.

Great day adventure! - Just fantastic! I have been birding for nearly 50 years. I have been from coast to coast in the US. This certainly was one of the best single days of birding for me. 35 life birds! Two different Tucans, Owls, Warblers, oh then there were the monkeys!

Birding in Cancun - Wonderful trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us to find and identify many birds. We went to three different habitats for the maximum number of different species. This was fun and we'd do it again!
