Take this tour! - We were so lucky to go birding with Miguel. This was an exceptional trip. We saw many varieties of birds , our highlights were toucans, a kingfisher and a pigmy owl. We visited a Mayan village as well as the Coba ruins. Snacks and a great lunch were included.

Well ŵorth the experience - We took a private bird watching tour to the Coba ruins on 11 dec. It was well worth the adventure with Claudio hosting us. It was a turnkey experience from transportation, drinks/breakfast, supplying binoculars, along with numerous other historical / cultural nformation along besides the emphasis on nature. Claudio was quite adept at identifying birds and their habits and environment- we saw over 50 different species. We live in Texas and are avid birders. To note we idenitified multiple different species of warblers, orioles, jays, flycatchers, woodpeckers, and many others.

It Doesn't Get Better for Bird Enthusiasts - Wow! We all had high expectations for this private tour and birding expedition to Coba and Miguel exceeded them all! Our group of six had a mix of bird enthusiasts and not-so-birdy nature lovers. Miguel and his team from Amar Aves kept all of them entertained and happy. 41 species were identified and 25 new lifers for my wife and I. Standout sightings were: ocellated turkey, limpkin, pygmy-owl, black-headed trogon, and northern prula. A day to remember in the life of a birder! Thanks, Miguel!

Fantastic Birding Experience w/Miguel - We are a group of 4 couples - ranging from beginner to pretty darn advanced Birders. We enjoyed an exceptional day -- seeing more than 35 species and nearly all were new lifers. My best birding day ever - Bravo!!
Most of our birding experience is in the Western USA - CA, OR, UT, and WA. Yucatan provides a wide range of new experiences; bird varieties, tropical forests, coastlines plus Mayan history and culture. I highly recommend spending a few weeks in this area.
Also want to make a specific call out to our guide Miguel. He certainly knows birds - but he knows people and guiding even better. He is a wonderful guide, well prepared for every step, totally engaged with our group and he made our day together so totally enjoyable. Thank you, thank you, Miguel!!

Perfect morning in Coba - One of the best days I've had in Mexico. Miguel is super knowledgeable, kind and fun. The pace of the birding was perfect and I learned a lot more than a trip to simply tick birds. I'll be booking again with Miguel on my next trip.

Amar Aves - An excellent Experience - My son and I decided on a private tour of Coba and Punta Laguna. Two great locations to visit and I highly recommend it. Our guide Claudio Lopez, is really passionate about birding and has a vast knowledge of the Mayan culture. This is the second tour with Claudio and definitely not the last. This is also my third tour with Amar Aves. This birding group impressed me the first time I went out with them and the reason why I continue to use them. If you are looking for a birding, nature, culture guide this is it! Gracias Claudio and Miguel. Hasta la proxima!

Amazing birding in Coba! - We had a great experience with Jose in Coba. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about biology and conservation. I highly recommend doing a tour with this company. Miguel the owner was so helpful and responsive, and made an effort to answer all of our questions and find the best tour for us. We saw so many incredible birds for the first time, which was very special. The highlights for us were: Keel-billed Toucan; all 3 Trogan's - Gartered, Collared and Black-headed; Red legged Honeycreeper; and Turquoise Motmot (we saw over 37 new species). Jose also does the eBird log, so we could just concentrate on birding and enjoying the moment. We also loved bike riding around the Coba archaeological site, very interesting and not crowded at all.

Incredible birding tour of Coba with the greatest guides in the Yucatan! - My family spent a week in Tulum and had the privilege of going birdwatching with Amar Aves. Our family were a group of 11, with birding skills ranging from those with 500+ lifers, to some who didn't know that bats aren't birds. Our guides (Jose, Marco, and Emiliano) were incredibly adept at sighting birds and species identification, and our driver (Charlie) was great at navigating the rough and tumble roads of Tulum. Additionally, all of our guides were extremely passionate about ornithology and were as excited as we were to be birding!

Great birding- excellent Guiding - We decided fairly last minute to visit Yucatán & contacted Miguel Amar.He listened to what we wanted to do & outlined a trip tailored to our needs. We’d n excellent time, visiting a variety of habitats. Our guide, Claudio was excellent, with top notch birding skills and determined that we spotted all of the birds that were present. This was the first of four days of touring (140+ species seen in all)
Most people visiting the winter, and I was concerned about the heat, but the day was arranged so that we did most of the activity early & took it easy when it got hotter. There is a huge amount to see even in June, and there is always a cenote somewhere to jump into.
Cannot rate this more highly!
