“The itinerary was good for the trip though I'd suggest reversing the order. The Big Island was challenging physically but also more rewarding in the endemics we were lucky to see. The accommodations ranged from excellent (Oahu - Kiamana Beach Hotel - beautiful beach, very nice common areas and restaurant as well as near to park and shopping/dining) to average (Big Island - Holiday Inn Express - rooms were fine but pool and common area were cramped, only crowded, small beaches nearby). Our guides, Chris and Jakob were top-notch: very knowledgeable, caring, fun to be with and intent on maximizing our viewings of species, especially endemics.”
“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.”
“I needed to make an insurance claim. The claim took over a year to process and there were many obstacles along the way. Eagle-Eye provided exceptional service at every stage of the claim including necessary documentation and telephone and online support. I could not have achieved a successful resolution without the assistance of Eagle-Eye Tours staff.”
“We were exposed to a vast array of marvelous birds, directed by two experienced guides, and taken to a variety of diverse locations to accomplish this.”
“The company was great. Two strengths stand out. The guides and the pre-tour support information. Only area for improvement would be notifying participants once the group minimum has been reached to ensure the trip goes foreward.”
“The tour delivered in every way. The guides worked great as a team and were patient and helpful throughout the tour. Our other tour companions were great fun and made the trip extra special. All accommodations were first-rate and the people of Costa Rica were friendly and welcoming. It was a wonderful trip!”
“It has been some time since I went on a birding tour. this was a new company for me. The guides were excellent. The trip list was 195 species. I added 23 life species. The accommodations were very good.”
“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.”
“A top-tier experience. Tropical birding at its best. The tour was highly professional, extremely productive for birding, and great fun. The guides must be the best in Central America. Travel, accommodations, and communication were all top notch. An outstanding tour.”
“This trip went off as planned because it was so well-planned. We stayed in a variety of places and got to see quite a variety of bird life. The guides were so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I felt well taken care of the entire time. I would recommend this tour to other birders.”
“The best part of this trip was our excellent guides. Ernesto and Paz found the birds and made sure that we had opportunities to all see them. The bus moved us efficiently from place to place and the accommodation and food were generally excellent. Eagle Eye from start to end kept me informed of changes and details of the trip.”
“The varied habitats and experiences we were offered. Our guides were great birders with wonderful stories and just the best people you could hope to meet.”
“The people make the difference! Enthusiasm, intensity, sincerity, hustle, desire, sense of fun & humor, energy to go the distance on a very ambitious itinerary.”
“Six days of excellent birding in the fall birding Mecca of eastern North America. Access to sighting of >150 different species. Access to one of North America's top birder and one who is both genial, competent and driven to provide the best possible experience.”
“This tour definitely lived up to expectations based on information provided by company. Tour guides were very knowledgeable of the birds of the Prairies, and worked hard to ensure that participants at all levels had a good experience.”
“It was an amazing trip. The guides were outstanding and the group was terrific. We had some very skilled birders on the trip as well as one being a biologist so the trip was also very educational. We learned a lot not only about birds but also the flora and fauna of the areas we were visiting. We did see many different birds including many warblers and shorebirds. One of the highlights of course was to see the incredible numbers of snow geese. We had several opportunities to see these magnificent birds from afar in the thousands, close up and in the air. The whalewatching around Tadoussac whether by boat or on land was fantastic. We have never seen so many belugas. We were also fortunate to see a large group of gray seals at sea. All in all a truly great trip.”
“This was a great trip exploring much of Manitoba and its varied ecosystems. The guide as with all Eagle Eye guides was very good Ken was an excellent birder finding many birds for the group and lots of mammals for the non birders.”
