“Communications with Celine were so helpful and clear. Celine made our trip preparations much easier. Our guides, Ken and Blair, were excellent “birders.” We learned so much about the birds and nature in the Arctic and northern Canada.”
“So many new birds! The locations are stunning. Being from Nova Scotia, the Western region is a place that needed exploring. Eagle Eye tours offers an affordable way of traveling the globe while searching for birds”
“I've done two birdwatching trips with this company, to Newfoundland and Peninsular Malaysia, both of which were new locations for me as far as birding is concerned. I'd thoroughly recommend them. In both cases the trips were well planned, the support from the office staff was good throughout the booking process, the itineraries were interesting, and the guides excellent. Some companies' birding tours can be a gruelling experience; as far as I'm concerned, Eagle-Eye gets the balance right.”
“Great tour with a small, congenial group. Chris Burney, our guide, went out of his way to make sure we saw the birds we sought. Traveling with people who were respectful of one another and those around us was a pleasure. Puerto Rico is a beautiful place and Puerto Ricans are welcoming people, even as they recover from natural disasters.”
“An amazing tour. Our guides were exceptional and super keen to find birds. Every spot was wonderful for flora and fauna. Lots of pictures were taken and many lifer birds added to my list.”
“My South Texas birding adventure was everything I thought it would be and more. Skyy and Adam were fantastic guides, very knowledgeable and helpful, the accommodations were first class, and I came home with so many great memories. Ellen Popkie”
“Well organized, excellent guide (Adam Walleyn). Helpful local guides. The fact that the trip was organized in a small group (8 people) made it very special. Truly unforgettable..”
“Costa Rica is a gorgeous country. This tour covered different areas so we saw a huge variety of birds and vegetation. Our guides, JP and Benny, were exceptional with encyclopedic knowledge of birds and bird songs. Ricardo, our driver, was very helpful and lots of fun.”
“The narwhal and polar bear trip was great. The place was stunning and the guides looked after us well. A few minor gripes but nothing considering we were camping on an ice flow off northern Baffin Island.”
“What a great tour we had. Thank you so much. All went according to plan, and the birding was spectacular. At times it was hard to keep one's head tilted up observing the birds. The accommodations were wonderful, some more rustic than others. Loved the garden and parklike setting of the Bougainvillea, and the grounds of La Quinta De Sarapiqui, and of the Arenal Observatory Lodge. What wonderful, exciting bird and wildlife places. The Paraiso Quetzal Lodge was an adventure in itself, as it was quite cool there and with 4 blankets on the bed it was difficult to move around. The room was just not built for cool air that seeped up through the boards and blew under the door. But it was all part of the adventure in the mountains. And we saw the Resplendent Quetzal the one morning. Ernesto just knew everything about birds, and the flora and fauna, and at times he was a bit humorous. He was superb. And Steve was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about everything and very friendly. He was super too. Hard to believe that they know the birds by size, shape, colour and song so well. Would recommend this tour.”
“Birding in Trinidad - nothing to complain about. Excellent arrangements, leadership. Large amount of enthusiasm, ensured that all participant received quality care Ernesto is an outstanding leader.”
“Our personal experience with Eagle-Eye tours was great! Communication from the inquiry stage to the actual tour commencing was excellent! Office staff was very knowledgeable and respond time was quick. They put together a well-planned tour that exceeded our expectations! Will DEFINATELY travel with them again!”
“In exotic locations, the combination of Eagle-Eye's professional guides and local, in-country expertise pays off in immensely successful and enjoyable tours.”
“Eagle Eye Tours have prepared an extraordinary trip to Alaska. Three locations covered all habitats for Northern and Arctic birds. The guides were excellent, helpful and always available.”
“We wish to give Eagle-Eye Tours top marks for stepping up for their clients in emergency situations. Recently, my husband and I joined their Costa Rica Birding Tour and on the first full day, my husband had a medical emergency early in the day while we were at a birding reserve in the hills above San Jose. Our Guide took over right away, arranging for the driver to take over the Group for the rest of the day and for a ride to get the three of us down to the closest hospital Emergency. He then spent the day with us coordinating between the hospital personnel (who knew little English) and ourselves and with the Eagle-Eye office back in Canada (starting the process of making necessary arrangements to get us back home to Canada). He didn't leave us until he had to in early evening, but before he did so, he provided a contact number for a fellow employee at the Canadian office, who then stuck by us via phone and text until my husband was released from hospital (at 10:30pm PST). At this point, the office contact arranged for a hotel nearby for that night. The next day, he booked an Airport hotel for us and made flight arrangements (which included special assistance by Air Canada the whole way) to our home city in B.C. for the following day. This employee then followed us all the way home via texting to make sure we made it in one piece. Way to go, Eagle-Eye Tours! We want everyone to know that you are safe when touring with this company: if you are ever in trouble, they are there for you until the problem has been dealt with and we will be forever grateful to all the people who contributed to getting us home safely.”
“I was along as a non-birding participant, and I still enjoyed the incredible scenery and wild places. Guyana's lack of infrastructure makes for rustic accommodations, which I loved. Just don't expect every-day wifi. Bring and use insect repellent--I got munched by chiggers, which was my own darn fault and detracted from my experience. Paul is a fabulously kind and birdy guide who can track down tiny gray birds all day long, and our local guide Gary is an all-around great guy too, with an encyclopedic knowledge of Guyanese birds.”
“I traveled with Eagle eye Tours to the far north of Canada. We had an excellent trip. Narwhal and Polar Bear were the highlights. The guides were excellent and the setting was spectacular. Highly recommended.”
