Coastal Lagoon Tour

(sorry, this tour is temporarily unavailable)

The destination of this tour is a coastal area close to Mazatlan where during the winter months great numbers of migrating birds join the resident bird populations in the lagoons, ponds, inlets and beaches .

A short drive through rural farm country takes us to the edge of a slow moving river where we will launch the kayaks to begin our tour. As we glide down the water way, several mangrove-lined mudflats and sandbars offer excellent chances of viewing many wading and shore birds such as the Roseate Spoonbill, White-faced Ibis, Wood Stork, Boat-billed Heron, Black and Yellow-crowned Night Herons, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Royal and Caspian Terns, and the Brown Pelican among others. We may also see local fisherman throwing a traditional net hoping to bring in shrimp and small fish for the market or a family dinner.

We will navigate through a mangrove-lined canal where the Green, Ringed and Belted Kingfishers, the Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk, Mangrove warbler and the Mangrove swallow are just a few of the species we may encounter. The pace of the tour is relaxed and you will find that the kayak allows unequaled access to the shore and wading birds. Professional instruction is included and the underlying words are safe and comfortable.

Our tour includes: transportation, knowledgeable bilingual guides,
instruction, safety & kayaking gear, dry bags, lunchbox and beverages,
insurance & pick-up service. (hotel-marina-hotel)
