Join us for a Thanksgiving birding adventure in Costa Maya and Belize! From rare lifers at the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary to a unique conservation partnership between a local birding tour and a working farm, discover our top tips for cruise-ship birders.
Before we became birders, our vacations were about beaches, food, and fun. But once you start birding, every trip becomes an opportunity to see the world differently—through binoculars! When Royal Caribbean rolled out a Black Friday sale, we jumped at the chance to revisit Cozumel and Belize, this time with a birder’s perspective, and add a brand-new destination: Roatán. As it turned out, Belize didn’t go as planned, but the journey still delivered unforgettable birding moments and a few lifers we’ll never forget.
