“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.”
“This tour has given me enough good memories of places, flora and fauna seen to satisfy my long-held wish to really feel I know at least a little of the wonderfully varied province of Newfoundland. East to West, it changed daily in weather and aspect and we learned what lives where, with the exciting prospect of actually seeing them. Not always granted, nature being fickle sometimes, but not for want of trying - our guides were tireless in their efforts to find what we wanted to see and it certainly was not their fault the creatures did not always oblige! I found some of the days long and tiring, in and out of the vans so much, and some dinners ended up being later than I'd have liked, service was slow although always friendly and obliging. I can't recall having any problems with the hotels, they were all perfectly adequate for a night or two and the owners of some the smaller establishments were delightful to chat with. A very important part of any group is the people in it, and with this tour there was nobody I would have wanted excluded, they were all fun to be with and a pleasure to get to know.”
“In early May, I travelled with Eagle-Eye on a birding trip to Point Pelee National Park,Rondeau Provincial Park,and Long Point. One of the many highlights was a day trip by boat to the banding station at the tip of Long Point. Even though the guides had to contend with a van that broke down part way through the trip, they were always cheerful. Their knowledge of the birds was amazing. I would highly recommend this trip. J. Kitchen”
“I have known about Eagle Eye Tours for many years and greatly respect the management and guides. Finally, we booked a tour and found the process to be a very positive experience. Unfortunately, our tour was cancelled due to Covid-19, which was a huge disappointment, but Cam and his team were very business-like and caring about it. We were offered a full refund with no questions asked. I have taken several tours and my experience with Eagle Eye was top shelf.”
“I was so excited to have found an organized tour to see the narwhals in May. It would be my first trip with Eagle-Eye Tours, and the staff was great to answer all of my questions and concerns. I couldn't believe how great the experience was - incredibly thorough, organized in the specific details, clear communications, and most of all patient with me. In addition to planning the trip, they helped with insurance and hotel recommendations. Unfortunately, this year's trip was cancelled due to the virus. However I was super impressed with their options for handling the situation (way better than other more prestigious travel companies). I hope that I will be able to travel in 2022 and join this amazing trip.”
“Overall I had a good trip to Cuba. We had excellent guides, very good looks at many target species, very good transportation and the majority of our accommodations were good to very good; one location for 3 nights was more on the poor side, with no water on one morning and then no hot water in the afternoon. Our needs were communicated to the hotel staff and things were much improved the following morning. I found the food rather repetitive from day to day, lunch was the same as dinner with a protein option. The Restaurants were clean and the staff very good. We saw a good variety of habitats and natural areas. Cuba has some beautiful natural areas and scenery. It would be great if they could develop an eco tourism industry.”
