“My partner and I found several tour companies online offering bird focused trips in Costa Rica. For no real reason we chose Eagle-Eye. So happy we did! The itinerary was fantastic, offering rich experiences across the many habitats made possible in CR by the variable elevation and oceans exposure. Pre-trip planning was efficient, with questions answered quickly. The itinerary was full, but not overwhelming. Our vehicle was clean and the driver was very good. And no shortage of food! Overall great experience - we have already booked a trip with E-E for 2027.”
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you and your partner enjoyed the diversity of habitats, the smooth organization, and the comfortable journey—especially paired with great meals. It’s so rewarding to hear the itinerary struck the right balance, and we’re truly grateful for your continued trust in booking again for 2027.
“The communications with Eagle Eye even before the tour began was excellent. I have never used a tour based App before but this was a great way to communicate with the guests on a real time basis during the tour. I can’t truly explain how satisfied I was with the entire tour experience.”
We're very proud of our app, and so pleased to hear that you were able to put it to full use while on your trip with us.
It means a lot to us to hear that the entire tour experience was such a positive experience!

“The best thing for me that made the trip possible was the offering of designated gluten free food at every meal. I could not have gone on this trip without that. I also loved that all staff and employees were completely accessible to chat and laugh with, whether while riding the zodiac or over a meal.”
We’re thrilled to hear that the availability of gluten-free meals made the trip possible for you!
We're so pleased to hear that our team was accessible and friendly throughout the journey. It means a lot to know you felt supported throughout.
“The Costa Rica Sampler Tour was extremely well organized, with every detail carefully planned and smoothly executed. Ernesto was an excellent guide who was very professional, highly experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for his work was clear throughout the trip, especially in the way he emphasized environmental awareness and conservation.
The trip itself was very detailed and well structured, offering a great balance of activities and experiences without ever feeling overwhelming. Ernesto showed genuine care for both the group and the natural surroundings, which made the experience even more special.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a thoughtfully planned and memorable travel experience.”

“Good pre-tour information
Too much empasis on photography
Pleasant and well organised chief leader - but a photographer
Two excellent and one good local guides
Good transport except one very poor driver at start of Dominica part”
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Anthony. We’re glad to hear that the pre-tour information was helpful and that you found our leaders and guides excellent.
We wish you all the best in your future birding adventures.
“Tour was very well planned pre tour communication was excellent every question we had was answered. Guides were all very knowledgeable in all areas of the tour.”
We’re delighted to hear that you found the pre-tour communication clear and well organized, and that all your questions were addressed ahead of your trip.
It’s also wonderful to know that our guides’ knowledge across all aspects of the tour helped enhance your experience.
“The tour appeared to be well organized and the guides were very adaptable when they needed to be. Everyone was able to see the birds we found and very often thru a spotting scope. I thought it was great!”
We’re thrilled you found the tour well organized and our guides adaptable. This is what we aim for every day, and hearing your praise serves to keep us going!
It’s great to know that from time to time on your tour the scopes were set up as well, as with the right conditions they can definitely provide everyone with some superlative bird viewing!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed another great tour with Eagle-Eye Tours and that New Zealand offered excellent experiences for you.
“Eagle-Eye had everything organized and the trip ran smoothly. Our lodging and restaurant choices were good. The destinations were beautiful. We experienced many habitats and their associated birds and animals.”
We’re delighted that you found the trip well-organized and smooth, and that the lodging, dining, destinations, and wildlife experiences met your expectations. It truly is our pleasure to ensure a seamless, educational, and thoroughly enjoyable trip for all of our guests!
We’ll be sure to share your feedback with the whole team.
We're pleased to know that our small but mighty team proved responsive , and that you appreciated how the tour was laid out.
We also do hope that you know you are indeed a valued customer, and we truly look forward to taking you on another birding adventure soon.
We’re delighted to hear our team was helpful and responsive to your pre-tour questions. As a small but dedicated team in the Canadian Rockies, it’s our pleasure to ensure a smooth, seamless experience from start to finish.
“As alluded to in my comments about the tour itself, there were problems related to the leader. He is not a professional guide and that became obvious. That was unexpected and not the case on other birding tours I have been on. I am not sure why this person was chosen since he had never been to this area. I think your process of selecting leaders needs to be reviewed.”
We appreciate your concerns regarding guide experience on this itinerary. While we do occasionally include a guide who is newer to a specific region as part of their development, this is always carefully balanced with experienced leadership. On this tour, Oscar had just completed the same itinerary the week prior and brought up-to-date, hands-on knowledge, and we also engaged a highly knowledgeable local guide in Tikal to ensure strong regional expertise throughout.
While our second guide was new to this particular itinerary, he is an accomplished wildlife biologist with extensive guiding and research experience across multiple regions globally. We are confident in his overall qualifications, though we regret that his regional familiarity did not meet your expectations.
We do appreciate your positive comments regarding the birdlife, food, and accommodations, and thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.
“Any dealing I had with Eagle-Eye Tours was a positive one. If their tours are similar to the Manitoba Owls tour I personally don’t feel they are the right fit for me.”
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your interactions with our team were positive.
We understand that every tour style may not be the right fit for every traveller. The Manitoba Owls tour offers a very specific experience shaped by winter conditions and the nature of owl viewing, which can differ from our other itineraries.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and wish you all the best in your future travels.
We’re delighted to hear you found the tour well organized and that you enjoyed your guides on the Manitoba Owls tour. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to the whole team.
