We had a very friendly group of 12 to Belize (which is the maximum number on David’s tours). It’s the perfect size. The trip was well-paced, we saw a variety of sites and birds, but it was not rushed. This is a great first trip to Belize–also wonderful if you’re a nature lover, but not necessarily a professional birder.

What a fantastic trip this was! I’m a nature lover but not a birder, and this tour had the right amount of everything for me. We birded most days, to the point where I actually learned and remembered some of the birds, but also learned about butterflies, plants, trees, mammals and reptiles on our walks.
David, as a guide, makes everyday a favorite day! His Belize trips are so well-planned. It was a perfect mix of habitats, birding, incredible eco-lodging, wonderful food, fun side trips to experience Cacao production, caves, Mayan Ruins, night boat “hunts” for wildlife sightings, and time to rest if necessary!
Just returned from IndiGo’s Belize birding and culture tour. A superbly organized trip with stays at memorable Eco-lodges. In the course of our week trip, we counted 182 different species, including some rare birds that had the veteran birders twittering. Stops at fascinating Mayan sites and vibrant villages. Highly recommended!
I was fortunate to be able to participate in the Jan 2023 IndiGo Birding tour of Belize with David Rupp. It was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime trip and exceeded my already high expectations. Not only is David an excellent birder but he makes every effort for each participant to see the beautiful birds of Belize. I was able to see 195 species with 98 of them being life birds. There were so many gorgeous birds but the Lesson’s Motmot and Trogans were among my favorites.
If you are interested in exploring the birdlife of Central America, we recommend David Rupp’s IndigoBirding tours in the strongest possible terms. The eco-lodges that David has selected are all of the highest quality, beautifully situated, with comfortable accommodations, fine food, and expert, gracious staff.
