Eagle-Eye Tours Reviews

"The tour was a comprehensive visit to a substantial portion of New Zealand. New started in Whagarei located on the northeast coast 7\/8 of the way to the northern most point of New Zealand. Over the next 22 days we traveled the length of New Zealand all the way to Stewart Island, a ferry ride across Foveaux Strait from Bluff at the southern end of South Island. We had 2 guides, Donavan and Gregor, and an additional driver Simone. The three leaders worked amazingly hard to find to find us places to search for even the most difficult of New Zealand birds to find. Not having known each other prior to the start of the trip, they worked seamlessly as a team. Their willingness to change the published itinerary in order to more easily find birds and the willingness of Eagle-eye Tours of allowing the changes was especially noteworthy, since it added many excellent experiences to our tour. There were 4 nights when we stayed just one night at a location. I would recommend trying very hard to eleminate 1-night stays whenever possible. The accommodations were execellent, and the meals, too, were excellent. My favorite parts of the trip were the Kiwi excursions and the ample opportunities to see pelagic birds and penguins up close. Anyone who would like a full immersion introduction to New Zealand and its wonderful birds would love this trip."

"This is the third tour that I have taken with Eagle-Eye. They have all been superb. The guides are very knowledgeable about the birds and environment. They are also excellent at balancing the needs of group members so everyone is happy. "
