Mexico is awash with plentiful and fascinating wildlife. In fact, one-tenth of the world’s known species call Mexico home — wow! From hundreds of reptiles and insects, to wild cats, migratory and resident birds, marine life, and more, Mexico is a wildlife mecca. From the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts to the rainforests of the Yucatan, from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, to the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, a Mexican nature tour is a can’t miss experience.
We are pleased to offer Mexican birding tours to locations like the Sea of Cortez, Oaxaca, and Alamos, as well as other Caribbean birding tours and Central American birding tours.
Guided Group Tours
Group travel is rewarding and fun! With more eyes you see more species. Travel Planners of Naturalist Journeys have been creating memorable journeys for 40+ years. We offer you small-group birding and nature tours, limited to just 8-13 persons led by expert guides. Learn and explore with like-minded people, enjoy local food and culture, and immerse yourself in birding and nature.

Conservation Corner
We value conservation – it is at the heart of our work. All Naturalist Journeys’ tours support local conservation projects. Browse the links below to learn more about positive local work to save and conserve the wildlife and landscapes we visit.
Mexico's IBAs
ProNatura is the largest Mexican conservation organization and the BirdLife International partner responsible for identifying and working to conserve Mexico’s Important Bird Areas.
Sea Turtles
Endangered sea turtles of Baja California Sur have a friend in ASUPMATOMA, a leading advocate for their preservation. Sustainable coastal planning, improved fishing regulations and enforcement, and the development of local conservation expertise are critical to the continuing health and ecological integrity of Bahia Magdalena. WILDCOAST also works to achieve these goals and more.
