Vogels kijken naar het biosfeerreservaat Sian Ka'an
Beschrijving
Het schiereiland Yucatan wordt erkend als een zeer belangrijk gebied met een enorm diverse vogelpopulatie vanwege de strategische ligging voor trekvogels. Er is ook een rijke inwonerspopulatie. Tot op heden zijn 543 soorten bekeken op het schiereiland Yucatan, wat overeenkomt met bijna 50% van alle vogelsoorten die in het land zijn geregistreerd. Je reist door het Muyil-gebied met een deskundige lokale vogel- en natuurgids en een klein aantal medereizigers. Deze tour destilleert het beste van de Yucatán in een reis die de volgroeide semi-bladverliezende jungle en wat zoetwater wetlands overneemt. Dit is een geweldige tour voor beginners en een prachtige schilderachtige tour voor de ervaren vogelaar.

Moises was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, and we saw some fantastic birds. When we met, he checked my level of birding experience and asked what I wanted from the tour- and absolutely delivered. We saw quite a few toucans, orioles, hummingbirds, jays, and other beautiful birds. Moises’ enthusiasm was energising, and he took great photos that he shared. The first part of the tour (where the most birds were) was in a semi-urban area near the Sian Ka’an Biosphere reserve (it was also earliest part of the day) and then we moved to the reserve itself which has a lovely boardwalk though the jungle. There is a MXN 100 fee for entrance to the reserve and parking.
Antonio and his team were excellent and we have a wonderful bird watching trip! They were so knowledgeable and friendly. If you are interested in birds and this trip then I highly recommend them!
We first contacted Antonio about the Sunset Kayak Tour, which we did on day 2 of arriving in Tulum and I cannot recommend Antonio and his team enough. The communications initially via email (switched to Whatsapp) were great. They were useful and helped us organise our logistics (even sorted us a ride home with a family after the trip to save the 3km hike) The trip itself was amazing and we saw lots of pelicans, cormorants, frigatbirds, egrets, multiple species of heron, ibis and more (sadly not the season for spoonbills) But we were lucky enough to see ospreys and black hawks as well as many other species, and Antonio knew how much seeing an Osprey would mean to myself and my wife and made it his mission to help us find one - and he did!!!!!! Then we were so impressed with Antonio that we decided to book the birdwatching in the Sian Ka'an Reserve, and if you are a birder this is a must. Antonio was joined by his two friends and fellow bird experts, and helped us identify over 40 species with some amazing highlights including the keel-throathed toucan, pygmy kingfisher, green jay and black headed mot mot. Antonio and his team were friendly and pleasant throughout and their passion for the natural world as well as their pride of their local area made it an unforgettable experience and if any birders are considering it, I cannot recommend it enough. They even shared some amazing photos with us afterwards and really went above and beyond to make it an incredible experience. Thank you again Antonio and we will for sure be contacting you again when we are next in the area!!!!
Yucatan Outdoors made sure that I had the right resources and people to see good birds in several different locations outside Tulum. They tailored the program to meet my schedule.
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!” 🦉
It was amazing, we found many different birds in all the places we visited, Emiliano and Moses explained to us how to look for them and identify them, they know a lot about the whole area and its history, the snacks and coffee were delicious and we had a great time, widely recommended 😊
The best experiences were Fernando’s enthusiasm and great personality as well as the breakfast stop at Rincon’s Mexicana Restorante.
Curiosity and admiration for the birds and nature brought you here and we are the fortunate ones who get to help you explore around, thanks to your trust.. We hope to be able to keep learning from amazing bird watchers as yourself that appreciate this area of the world where birds still are able to coexist with us… Muchas gracias amigos!
The tour is brutal. Once you arrive at the pier after entering the biosphere of Siaan kaan you take a kayak and paddle through the mangrove. I had an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to enjoy the sunset which was really beautiful, then paddle back as the full moon rose. In the background they saw lightning strikes far away that gave the magic touch. Without a doubt one of the best activities that can be done in Tulum and the whole Riviera Maya. Totally recommended.
