      Incredible diversity and beautiful birds
      I took a guided tour of Reserva TOH with Jose. We arrived before sunset and the hour after the dawn chorus began was one of my favourite birding experiences ever. Jose was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora, as well as the history of this region, and very good at finding birds. Highlights were the Lesson's motmot and collared aracari. I would go back in a heartbeat

      Lots of lifers!
      Jose was a great bird guide—very diligent in helping us tick off our lifer list. Boat ride was fun with tons of waterfowl.

      Great overview of the jungle birds of the Yucatan. Jose was the perfect guide, helping me find new lifers!
      I chose a half day tour and would definitely come back for another one. We spent the morning looking for jungle birds of the Yucatan and Jose didn’t disappoint. He has a great ear for bird calls and made it easy to find over 50 species, 36 of the lifers for me. Money well spent!

      Wonderful birding visit
      Jose from Gills Bioexperiences provided a terrific birding tour of the jungle areas just outside of Puerto Morelos. HE is so knowledgeable and his English is terrific so communication was easy. He picked us up at our hotel and we not only saw many birds, we also had a lovely breakfast in a magical jungle setting.

      Wonderful tour of the birds in the mexican jungle.
      Jose is so knowledgeable and his English is terrific so he made the tour easy and effective. I loved seeing the birds in their natural settings and listening to all their wonderful sounds. We had a lovely breakfast in a jungle setting. It was a wonderful contrast to the ocean seaside environment and made our visit to Puerto Morelos complete.

      Experience the Beauty of Puerto Morelos' Wildlife with an Expert Guide
      I couldn't be happier with the experience. Gil was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and informative about not just birds but also the plants of the region, making the tour both enjoyable and educational. Gil was able to spot a variety of birds and was able to identify them by their calls and features. He also shared interesting facts about the birds and their behavior, which made the tour even more engaging. Furthermore, the guide pointed out and explained different plants, their properties and their importance in the ecosystem. Overall, the tour was a great way to explore the local wildlife and I highly recommend it. Gil's friendliness, knowledge, and in-depth information about both birds and plants made it a truly memorable experience.

      Great tour
      Gill (aka Jose) is an amazing tour guide. He knows his stuff and is a good companion to spend a day with. I would highly recommend him to any birders and expect to use him in the future on my next visit to Cancun and vicinity.

      birding and botanical garden tour
      Jose is an incredible guide for all things wildlife. we spent a day birding with him and then went to the botanical garden in Cancun, which I highly recommend with Jose. He has a degree in biology and has worked in various roles in Mexican wildlife facilities. his English is excellent and he is a very kind soul. if you want to learn about plants, trees, snakes, birds, bugs he's your guy.

      Jose was a great tour guide for birding in the Yucatan.
      Jose picked me up from my hotel at 5:30am and took me deep into the jungle near Vallarta. We made 5 stops and as a Virginia birder, almost all of the 60+ birds we saw were lifers. We got great looks of a beautiful Turquoise Browed Motmot, Barred Antshrike, Wedge Tailed Sabrewings among others. I was the only one on the tour and Jose answered all of my questions including many about native plants that I didn't ask! We stopped at 9am for a home cooked breakfast over an open-fire grill. Breakfast burritos with fresh avocado and habaneros over a white table cloth with ice cold lemonade. We didn't return to the hotel until 1pm, exhausted. We also saw some unreported Mayan ruins on the private reserve we traveled. 5 stars, would definitely recommend Jose. He also does snake tours and whale shark tours, so I would consider him for those as well.

      Best Eco-Tour EVER!
      We had a wonderful private tour with Gill. He shared so much local knowledge with us about the Yucatan flora and fauna, edible and medicinal plants along with Maya legends and stories. It was wonderful and honestly one of the best eco-tours I've ever done. If you're a nature lover then go with Gill, he is passionate about the environment, conservation and preservations of wildlife and their habitats. And he so much additional time with us, our tour went way over time and he was lovely, just having fun with us and enjoying the nature time.

      An Amazing Day of Birding
      Our day with Jose was beyond words, and we learned so much from our kind, new friend. Not only did we see or hear 63 species of birds (you can see our list on ebird.org), but we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, cooked fresh for us, at a comfortable bird watching station. We then headed out for another walk where we observed more birds, learned about a few important endemic plants and trees, and their importance to Mayan culture as well as medicinal uses. The walk ended under a 300 year old Ficus tree. Jose’s passion for the natural world coupled with his knowledge of birds and biology made for an unforgettable day. Thanks again, Jose. We will most certainly be back to Puerto Morelos for another adventure with you!

    I couldn't believe it when I found this Herpetological Tour on Trip Advisor. I have been interested in reptiles and amphibians since I was in middle school, and I love unique kinds of adventures. Gil was very knowledgeable about the jungle areas near Puerto Morelos where the tour originated, so he knew about multiple options for our hike. He also had an amazing amount of knowledge about all the plants and animals of all types in the area. There was not one thing that I asked him about that he was unable to identify and educate me about. Language was also no impediment because he was very capable of communicating in English with me. He also adapted the tour to what I wanted, which made me very happy. I mentioned that I wished I could see a toucan, and 5 minutes later, I was taking photos of toucans! I mentioned that I hadn't gotten to see any cenotes, and he led me to 3 cenotes in the jungle. I highly recommend anyone who loves wildlife or plants to let Gil take you on one of his unique and interesting tours! I plan to do another tour with him in the future!
