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!

We are a birder and a non-birder and we both had a great morning viewing birds in and around Mazatlán. A quarry, an estuary, and a park all provided a great variety of birds (40-50 in all). Shorebirds, ducks, storks, frigate birds, warblers, and much more. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the birds, and was able to point out so many around us. He also included general information about the places we visited. It was definitely the best day of our week-long stay in Mazatlán.

I purchased this experience for my 22-year-old son as part of a birthday gift. We were on a cruise and stopped in Mazatlan for a day. This was the highlight of my son‘s vacation. And he frequently references all of the birds and other animals that he saw. The hosts were amazing and it was a great experience all around.

We had a wonderful day of bird watching! We’re first time bird watchers curious about the birds and wildlife in the area. Not only was the tour amazingly informative but we saw parts of Mazatlan that we would have never seen otherwise. Jose Ramon was a fabulous guide and his enthusiasm and expertise shone through as he toured us around the beautiful wetlands of Mazatlan. We’re so glad we found this tour and had the chance to do something totally different than we would normally do in Mazatlan. Don’t miss this one!

We booked a half day excursion with Bird Watching Mazatlán and had a great time. Jose has a great eye and helped us spot 61 different species!!

Jose' Ramon took us to a couple of off the road places and showed us many birds! The first was a purplish backed jay right outside our condo! I saw that bird more times while waiting for the bus. We ended our journey at an ancient church where a bat falcon pair were nesting:) It was a memorable day and lots of fun!

We enjoyed a wetland (lake) and a dry area in the hills and a small stream with numerous shore birds. Excellent day and Ramon was quite knowledgable.

Great birding. Jose was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the local birds and birding spots. Excellent experience I saw several lifers.

Amazing Bird Trip! You should book it! I went out yesterday with José Ramon to bird watch. First of all, he is very knowledgeable and experienced. He knows what he’s seeing and is great at spotting birds. He picked me up at the hotel and delivered me back at the end. He had water and snacks and best of all binoculars for me to use. We saw 76 birds — 62 were lifers for me! What a great trip. I would book again without hesitation!

Jose the bird whisperer We had a wonderful morning with Jose. He found 74 birds for us! The morning walk was filled with bird song! Jose is extremely knowledgeable and so pleasant to be with. Highly recommend his tour. Thanks Jose for sharing with us .

Unique and memorable experience! A highlight of our trip to Mazatlán! We were a group of three beginners, and Jose’s enthusiasm and knowledge were such an inspiration. Highly recommend for beginners and advanced birders alike. We saw over 70 species on our tour, including 4 kinds of heron and a pair of painted buntings. I hope Jose can bring his tours to the Mazatlan resorts. I think they would be a big hit with tourists visiting Mazatlan.

Birding. A new hobby Thanks to our guide. Jose was wonderful. It was our first birding experience and his enthusiasm and knowledge made it so much fun. He was very aware of our needs as older people and tried to make it a wonderful experience. We will do it again

Amazing tour! What a wonderful experience! I went with a friend and we were both so impressed with the sheer amount of birds we saw, almost all of which were completely new to us. Our guide, Jose, picked us up and drove us an hour and a half or so out into the Sierra Madre to the Tufted Jay Preserve. The area is stunning and we pulled over for photos of the mountains several times. Jose was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful on the whole trip. He was an excellent guide and shared the professional photos he took of the birds we saw with us. I’m so glad we decided to do this tour. The hiking was moderate, through pine forest on logging roads for the most part, and at a high altitude, so plan accordingly for your trip. Definitely book with them!

Fantastic bird watching morning. 82 species!! Jose Ramon's knowledge, and the birding locations he took me too were excellent. We saw 82 different species is the approximately 4 hours we were out together. That was so exciting for me! He was right on time for the pickup. His car was comfortable and spotlessly clean. He'd brought extra drinks and snacks. And he was very considerate of mobility, and a bathroom break. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Excellent guide and day of birding Very friendly and smart guide. We would use him again. He cared a lot about our comfort. Highly recommend.

The highlight of our vacation. Jose Ramon provided a unique experience, took us to some wonderful places and showed us an amazing variety of birds.
