“Easy to book with Eagle-Eye. Staff on board really wanted everyone to have a good time. Food was awesome with so many choices. On land experiences were outstanding with several choices for different interests and abilities.”
“From initial contact with the office, to the final group dinner, all aspects of this Eagle Eye Tour were well thought out and organized. I appreciated the time and energy the guides put into ensuring we all had a successful birding experience.”
“Positives: Always felt safe traveling solo. Accommodations were satisfactory to excellent, guides were both outstanding birders and human beings, fostering strong group dynamics, plus made it FUN. I really hope I get to go on more trips with either or both of them!! Driver was very steady-handed driving in difficult circumstances at time, and also a fun birder who went above and beyond for all of us. Recommendations: The last location was near the airport and grounds were nice, but the room was very musty and dark, and the pillows were like rocks. That could use some work. I was the last to leave, scheduled the bus at 10 am, but the driver/hotel owner was late, then decided to delay leaving further to bird in the parking lot with someone else. We didn't leave until 10:30. He told me I had plenty of time to make my flight, and I probably did, but that was not his decision to make and created anxiety as I was traveling solo and was the last to leave of the group. He was very nice, and I don't believe he understood that he was being disrespectful. I think if that was explained to him he would correct that.”
“We had a great guide and driver leading a small group (7) of birders. All information given to us by Eagle Eye prior to the tour was reasonably accurate and helpful. The tour was well organized and gave value for the money.”
“I have been on several tours with Eagle Eye and have no hesitation in recommending them; guides are knowledgeable and professional. I look forward to talking to the friendly and helpful office staff when booking my next trip.”
“We've gone on two birding tours with Eagle-eye, one to Florida and the other a combined tour of gardens and birds, in the southern part of England. Both were a lot of fun (particularly the latter, which I hadn't expected), run by friendly and knowledgeable people. Accommodations were generally good to excellent (4 or 5 star), although one night I would say was only 3 out of 5 star. Quality service from both the guides and the office staff.”
“The tour was fabulous! The amount of birds the group saw was astounding. The guides, Ernest and Paz, were passionate about the birds and always there to help in whatever way possible. They went out of their way to make sure I could eat within my dietary restrictions. Through the tour we got to see the a lot of the country in style. I will be going on another tour with Eagle Eye Tours in the future.”
“A very good bird tour. A thoughtful choice of locales that maximized species count plus giving a good overview of the country of Costa Rica. The guide is what put this tour above others: Joaquim Bertrands is the birder’s birder besides being a delightful human being. But be warned - this tour is active!! Be prepared to hike, sometimes at altitude, often in heat and humidity. You must be fit to enjoy what this fine tour has to offer. Come ready to appreciate Tico food and culture - you’re not in Kansas anymore!”
“This was a unique tour. We enjoyed being able to go on shore frequently, weather permitting. We loved seeing the Walruses and Beluga Whales. It was a shame that we didn't see Narwhals, but there was a storm just where they were likely to be. I felt very sorry for the Inuit as their way of life is almost gone and without hunting, it is probably not worth living in the Arctic.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the 2023 Texas Migration Tour with Eagle-Eye. Kyle was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about birds and very personable and helpful. We traveled to new and interesting places in Texas, had decent accommodations and ate well. Fortunately my travel companions were very congenial and we enjoyed being together. Kudos to Eagle-Eye for organizing a great trip!”
“The guides make this trip - so many birds. Costa Rica is a beautiful country & we experienced so much variety in our locations, accommodations, food & birds!”
“Birds of Costa Rica with two incredible guides. Great birds, great accommodation, great transportation and a trip diary at the end with daily highlights and sightings. Can't imagine anything better.”
“Nothing but raves about the two tours I took. The guide, Dom Rollinson, was outstanding; not only extremely knowledgeable about birds, but also mammals, reptiles, amphibians, etc. On top of that he was good company and dealt well with hick-ups in the form of flat tires. Great accommodations, fine food, well over 500 species of birds. All-in-all a superb tour.”
