Join us on a 3 hour tour of the coastal islands which are found in the bay of Mazatlan just off the city’s coast.  These islands are part of a nature reserve that is overseen by the CONANP which includes all 900+ islands in the Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California. We will take a short hike on Deer Island (the island with the highest number of plant species in the Sea of Cortez) looking for the Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, Rufous-backed Robin, Streak-backed Oriole, Tropical Kingbird, Great Kiskadee  and the Five-striped Sparrow. We will witness the guano covered islets where we have great possibilities of seeing the Blue and Brown-footed Booby and the Red-billed Tropicbird. We will then pass by Bird Island, an important nesting and roosting site for many species including the Brown Pelican, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Neo-tropic Cormorant, Magnificent Frigatebird, and the White-faced Ibis.

Level 2 walking on Deer Island, otherwise all other viewing is from the vessel.
