Fågelskådning Mazatlán - Fågelskådningstur

3 amazing days with Jose Ramon Avalos. Not only is he a fabulous bird expert, but he is a wonderful traveling companion. I saw well over 100 species of birds in a wide variety of habitats. Jose Ramon goes out of his way to find every species you are interested in, and is very patient as you try to see the bird. Every birder, beginner to expert, would enjoy this experience.

This was an amazing experience! Jose was incredible: friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves both birdwatching and sharing that with others. My wife and I are not expert birdwatchers by any means, but we didn't miss out on anything! Jose knew great locations and pointed out birds we would never have seen on our own. The car was comfortable and the cold drinks and snacks were a great bonus as well. Seeing the beautiful Sinaloa countryside and villages on the way to and from the lake was amazing, and the bread we stopped for was probably the best bread I've had in my life (I know, not the point of the trip, but it was that good.) I can't recommend this adventure enough or say enough good things about it!

This tour was amazing! I had never been birdwatching before, but José made the experience so special. Our tour was just us (my partner and I), and we got to go all around Mazatlan spotting birds from multiple different environments. We ventured out to the countryside, then went to the water, and even downtown. The car was air conditioned and very comfortable, and José provided everything we needed: snacks, water, and very good binoculars. He also has a telescope as well for the very far birds. Super knowledgeable about birding, speaks good English, and was very accepting of our limited Spanish. This wasn’t just a birding tour, it was a whole city tour. There was a little bit of walking, but nothing that was difficult. If you have any interest in birds, wildlife, or flora, definitely book this, you won’t be disappointed.

This was such a special experience. Confirmation of booking and great communication leading up to the day of the expedition. We were picked up on time in a very comfortable vehicle with Jose as our guide. Jose is extremely knowledgeable, took us to three different sights, and we got to see a lot of birds on the way, including a hummingbird nest that I have NEVER seen before. During the trip, using eBird and Merlin, Jose kept a running tab of all the birds and locations we went to, and these were promptly emailed to us after the trip. Inside the vehicle, he had loaner binoculars, treats, and beverages to refresh, and we even got to stop by a small local pop-up bakery spot with the most delicious breads. Unfortunately, they were out of the cheese bread, so that just gives us more reason to do the trip again the next time we are in Sinaloa.. And we WILL. This excursion easily ranks up in the top 5 excursions we have done in Mazatlan in our 10 years of visiting there.. A+++ Guide is multilingual, personable, and most important doesnt feel the need to always fill the air with needless conversation and lets you enjoy the sights, sounds, and views.

We had a fantastic full-day trip with Jose and Gisela. We saw 99 species, including several lifers. They’re both extremely experienced birders and trip leaders, and they made sure we found and saw as many birds as possible. Gisela has the most incredible birding eyes and ears my husband and I have ever experienced — we’re sure we saw at least 30% more birds because of her. Jose is also an excellent leader and his mimic calls of the flammulated owl brought one in to check us out so we could see it. They also completed ebird checklists for every location we visited and send us a trip list. They know all the best birding spots around Mazatlán, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a traditional restaurant overlooking the mangroves. Highly recommended for birders of any level.

Amazing trip with Juan Ramos. Saw so many birds. He even ended up rescuing a hawk that was caught up in a bramble bush. He was able to free her and she flew off. A memory I will never forget.

I'm rating this birding tour a 5++ Had two excellent guides We saw 56 species and I increase my life list on this 5 hour tour

Jose`Ramon and Stella, his wife, are outstanding bird guides. From a lake to a river, to the ocean, they showed us so many wonderful species native to Mazatlan! Knowledgeable, bi-lingual and sincere, I'd give Jose` and Stella a 10/10 rating. Choose them if you're a bird-lover!!!!

First of all, Jose Ramon and Giselle picked me up at my condo. We didn’t have to go far to start seeing many birds. I could tell that birding is their passion, and they had a lot of experience. They are both very educated and experienced and know MZT very well. I felt very safe with them, understood and they shared so much of their knowledge and experience with me. I highly recommend this tour! The binoculars they provided were excellent! They had a spotting scope that allowed me to see the birds up close. We saw 82 birds!!!!Bring your camera, too.

Jose was very knowledgeable and friendly. Saw over 80 birds, many of them lifers. I had a specific bird request and we saw it. Would highly recommend this tour!
