Saw the most amazing birds!

5.00OMG, what a fantastic tour! We saw SO MANY amazing birds with Melba and in the process we really got to fully explore Cozumel and see areas that most of our fellow cruise passengers will never get to see. Melba is so sweet and lovely and she has so much knowledge concerning the local bird population. Great for kids too! Forget the “cattle car” ship tours where you are herded from place to place and spend the day with Melba instead.
Excellent Cozumel Birding Tour

5.00We had a fantastic tour with Melba looking for the endemic birds of Cozumel. Melba is knowledgeable, fun and laid-back. She got us on all of our target birds, including Cozumel wren, Cozumel vireo, Cozumel emerald, white-crowned pigeon, Caribbean elaenia, Caribbean dove, Yucatan vireo and western spindalis. It was a pleasure birding with a Cozumel local who knows the birds and habitats so well.
Absolutely worthwhile birding tour

5.00Amazing experience that I would recommend to birders of any level. Melba is an expert in the field. She knows all the best spots. We saw over 30 species of birds and 2 out of the 3 endemics. She went above and beyond to deliver a personalised and tailored experience. She also managed to arrange a tour for me last minute. And when she heard I hadn't seen the east side of the island because I didn't have a car she went out of her way to drive me around and watch the sunset!! Thank you again for the best day!
Give your life list a Bump!

5.00I just had a wonderful birding experience with Melba! She is a great host and knows her birds, their habitats, and likely hiding spots! Once at a particular spot, she has the insight and knowledge to be able to find birds that are hard to locate. As an example, we went to a site that I had visited the day before and had found five birds. On our visit today we created a list of 22 bird species including multiple lifers I would recommend Cozumel birding for anyone who is interested in nature or is a beginning or moderately or even highly experienced birder! The time goes by very pleasantly and quickly as Melba continues to check on how you’re doing, what you would like to see and just to ensure that your experience is wonderful!

5.00We had an enjoyable half day excursion with the delightful and enthusiastic Melba. She was waiting for us at the ferry dock, attended to our needs/desires, was a good driver, and a knowledgeable amiable host. She drove us to her favourite spots, where we saw so many Northern Jacanas, the elusive Ruddy Crake, White-crowned Pigeon, Green-breasted Mango, Cozumel Emerald, Rufous-browsed Peppershrike, Yucatán Vireo, Caribbean Elaenia, American Pygmy Kingfisher & Cozumel Wren!! Next time I make it to the Yucatán, I’ll be reaching out to Melba for more!!
An amazing tour!

5.00Melba is an AMAZING birder! Our cruise ship docked in Cozumel, and we decided to take the birding tour as an excursion. Even though we had a short time, she managed was able to show us 32 different species of birds. She patiently explained where each bird was hiding in the trees and bushes. She even asked us about our birding preferences, like whether we count hearing a bird or need to actually see it. I can’t say enough about how amazing our experience with Melba was. You won’t be disappointed to book a tour with her!
Super Day of Birding in Cozumel!
