“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.”
“A very good bird tour. A thoughtful choice of locales that maximized species count plus giving a good overview of the country of Costa Rica. The guide is what put this tour above others: Joaquim Bertrands is the birder’s birder besides being a delightful human being. But be warned - this tour is active!! Be prepared to hike, sometimes at altitude, often in heat and humidity. You must be fit to enjoy what this fine tour has to offer. Come ready to appreciate Tico food and culture - you’re not in Kansas anymore!”
“This was a unique tour. We enjoyed being able to go on shore frequently, weather permitting. We loved seeing the Walruses and Beluga Whales. It was a shame that we didn't see Narwhals, but there was a storm just where they were likely to be. I felt very sorry for the Inuit as their way of life is almost gone and without hunting, it is probably not worth living in the Arctic.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the 2023 Texas Migration Tour with Eagle-Eye. Kyle was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about birds and very personable and helpful. We traveled to new and interesting places in Texas, had decent accommodations and ate well. Fortunately my travel companions were very congenial and we enjoyed being together. Kudos to Eagle-Eye for organizing a great trip!”
“The guides make this trip - so many birds. Costa Rica is a beautiful country & we experienced so much variety in our locations, accommodations, food & birds!”
“Birds of Costa Rica with two incredible guides. Great birds, great accommodation, great transportation and a trip diary at the end with daily highlights and sightings. Can't imagine anything better.”
“Nothing but raves about the two tours I took. The guide, Dom Rollinson, was outstanding; not only extremely knowledgeable about birds, but also mammals, reptiles, amphibians, etc. On top of that he was good company and dealt well with hick-ups in the form of flat tires. Great accommodations, fine food, well over 500 species of birds. All-in-all a superb tour.”
“For our England tour an erupting Icelandic volcano made for following plans very tricky. But even under these trying circumstances every effort was made to give us a fine experience. Only my wife and I managed to make the tour. One guide dispatched from Shetland managed to get to London albeit a late in the first day and the other two guides from Alberta about a week later. Two of us and three guides - it was great! Lots of birds, exeptional gardens, excellent guides, generally good accommodation and food. We have been on several other Eagle Eye tours and are booked for Cuba February 2017. Obviously we regard the company highly.”
“The people really made the trip. The guides were so knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour as we stumbled over the unfamiliar bird names. They kept in touch with colleagues so that we could check out good birds in real time. I loved everyone in our group. It was great to be in the company of like minded people for a good period of time. I never felt rushed and we got really good looks at the birds. There were so many wonderful, colourful birds! The bus driver was fantastic and kept the windows spotless. The accommodations, meals and birding stops were great. I didn’t think about anything but birds and other creatures for a whole trip. The itinerary was well thought out for a worry free trip. Great time. I know I’d love to return to Costa Rica.”
“A well organized and carefully crafted tour (despite accommodation hiccups in Intervales Park). Forested ecosystems require a thorough knowledge of bird vocalizations - fortunately both guides excelled in this regard, resulting in a huge list of bird species at tour's end including an equally huge list of endemic and near-endemic species.”
“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.”
“The company was available to answer any questions and sent out information that helped to prepare you for the trip. The birding/trip guide was knowledgeable and helpful in all circumstances.”
“It was amazing to be in a world that was totally new to me. White on white on white, camping on ice that in a month will be 1000 ft deep water, and 24 hour daylight, narwhals, polar bears, seals, birds and more birds”
“This is a wonderful tour which more than lived up to my expectations. I wanted to see and photograph beautiful landscapes, birds, wildlife, etc. It all happened. We photographed Torres de Paine and El Chalten at sunrise, saw King Penguins, visited two glaciers, photographed many new bird species, saw 11 puma in one day...”
