Traveler reviews
Highly recommend!
What an amazing experience we had! We went with Miguel as we had an interest in birding and he is an amazing guide. One of the best we have ever had. It was a great family expeience. The lazy river float was WAY better than expected, and ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend Miguel and the rest of the group! I did a second, private birding tour also with Mexico Kan that was equally great. Both guides were very professional and fun to be with.
Amazing time, highly recommend!
This was such a great tour. Our guides, Moises and Emiliano, were absolutely fantastic, enthusiastic, and skilled. We saw loads of cool birds. We got hit by some pretty hard rain but we made the best of it and were still able to find unique birds during the rain. This is absolutely worth getting up early for, and I would recommend to anyone who has any interest in birding and/or seeing Sian Ka'an.
Excellent tour and highly professional
We booked the private birdwatching tour in Sian Ka’an Muyil for a group of 4 and had an amazing experience, well worth the price. Our tour guide Claudio really made our trip unforgettable, he was very knowledgeable and accommodating, choosing the best trajectory for spotting our target species. We were lucky to see most species on our list including the Keel-billed toucan, Collared aracari, Lesson’s Motmot and many more. The tour also included a breakfast meal at a beautiful local restaurant which was very well-received after a few hours of birdwatching at sunrise. All in all, we would highly recommend this tour.
Birding in Yucatan and Oaxaca
We did 2 birding tours, one in Yucatan with Miguel and one in Oaxaca with Edgar. Both guides were fantastic birders and super nice guys. Highly recommend!
Beautiful afternoon in Sian Ka'an
Great experience seeing crocodiles, manatees and tons of different species of birds. Calm, beautiful scenery. Fantastic picnic at sunset. All thanks to our great guide Marcos!
