I did 4 tours with these guys around San Ignacio. They were all great tours, well organized, on time, good transportation, good guides and good information on the tours in the office. The only thing I had to think of was to pay and then enjoy!

Wildlife And Belize Birdwatching

BELIZE ZOO & MONKEY BAY WILDLIFE SANCTUARY BIRDING TOUR

The coastal pine savannahs and riparian hardwood forest blends in this area, giving way to a mix of habitats. This is the perfect spot to look for species such as Gray-throated Chat, White-bellied Emerald, Canivet’s Emerald and Golden-hooded Tanager.

The pine specialties you can spot around here include, Yellow-headed Parrot, Yellow-lored Parrot (a Yucatan endemic), Buff-bellied Hummingbird and Gray-collared Becard. Ladder-backed Woodpecker and Yucatan Woodpecker are also in the area. Along the creeks, Russet-naped Wood-Rail and Barred Antshrike call almost all day. Hiding in the dense Bamboo thickets, Rufous-breasted Spinetail and Blue Seedeater find refuge.

Along the dense forest closer to the Sibun River, we can find Gray-headed Tanager, Great Antshrike, Rufous-tailed Jacamar and Yellow-tailed Orioles. It’s an impressive mix of birds which are much harder to see elsewhere.
