I had such a good morning's birdwatching with Jacqueline in beautiful Bacalar. I'm fairly new to birdwatching in Mexico and it was genuinely revelatory. We didn't walk far - down to the lakeside , then along a quiet track on the forest edge. But with Jacqueline's knowledge, skill and patience, you come to realise just how much life there is all around you. We saw around 40 species from dawn to mid-morning: tanagers, tityras, gorgeous trogons and most excitingly, a toucan. Most of them were firsts for me. I'd recommend to anyone, and certainly if you're unsure about birding (or early mornings!) then Jacqueline is a brilliant person to convince you.

We have been living in Mexico 6months a year for the last 9 years, and we both agree, the 2 day kayak/camping excursion with Gunner has been our favorite experience. Gunner is a wealth of information, a first class kayaker (he even built the beautiful kayaks we were using) and an excellent cook as well….I really appreciate the above and beyond shown me due to my dietary restrictions…the keto bread was fantastic and I truly appreciate it. Absolutely recommend this or any of Gunner’s kayak excursions to anyone who enjoys being out on the water enjoying nature and all the beauty of Laguna Bacalar…it is truly amazing!

Gunnar was our guide on a kayaking trip around Laguna Bacalar. Rather than boring us with lots of marketing malarkey, he gave us information and understanding of the lake, the flora and fauna, and its ecological importance. He even built the kayaks that we used. Very rare in foreign countries to ever rent quality equipment. It was a wonderful 3 hours in a beautiful environment. Highly recommend this place.

We went kayaking with Gunnar at lake Bacalar and to be honest, it was my favorite experience throughout our holiday in Mexico. We started the tour before sunset and visited several areas at the lake. Not only was it very nice, quiet and a beautiful site, but Gunnar's knowledge about the lake, the birds, the complete environment made this nature experience absolutely perfect. Thanks again Gunnar!

We had a great time with Jacqueline. Our tour started with the whole family. Jaqueline was patient and adapted to our needs (birding with two small kids who were running around, despite our best efforts). She's a wonderful guide with a great eye, keen ear, and extensive knowledge of the endemic and migratory species that can be seen in and around Bacalar. We saw many birds. Eventually it was just me and Jacqueline and I had a wonderdful time learning about the birds we were seeing, getting excited together about what we were spotting, and hearing her nerd out about her favorite warblers. Can't wait to be back to go out with her again!

We had a great kayak tour with Gunnar at sunrise on lake Bacalar. Gunnar knows a lot about the lake and can tell it in a very nice way. He had fruits and other snacks with him to make it a complete adventure that we would recommend to everyone!

We did the 6h kayak tour with Gunnar through the lagoon of Bacalar as a family. For us it was the most beautiful way to get to know the lagoon. The tour took us to the northern area of the lagoon where no one else is traveling. Gunnar knows every animal and plant and is a great guide. Also the lunch was totally delicious and the bath breaks in beautiful places. We can recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and is just a bit sporty. Next time it's the 3-day tour to the sea! Thanks again to Gunnar and Jacqueline for this beautiful day on our trip to Mexico.

Nice trip with family. Fantastic to see the sunbathing on the lake. Great to do, good materials. Not very spectacular, much of the trip you paddle the lake back and forth. Nice German Guide who knows a lot and shares knowledge. Recommended!

My husband and I went kayaking in Bacalar with Gunnar over two days and one night, and I can safely say it was one of the best experiences of your trip. Gunnar was a mine of local knowledge, helping us navigate the waters, but also giving us lessons in herbology and local Mexican life. We ate fruit right off from the cactus, the food was amazing, we went to see places no toursts go to, I can only say one thing : GO FOR IT ! Don't hesitate, you can trust Gunnar and Catherine to make the best experience possible for you, and the bed when we arrived was comfortable, in a beautiful room. What more can you wish for, really ?
