“We had excellent looks at the Whooping cranes, and also saw almost 100 other bird species, and great looks at some mammals (moose, foxes etc.). Tour was well organised. An extra day in Prince Albert National Park would have made it even better though. Hotel was good but had a few issues. (Rooms were too bright at night, toilet paper was cheap and rough, shower was slippery with no mat) but food was excellent and efficient. Tour leaders/ drivers were excellent. Good photo ops.”
“Patient with a procrastinator This is the third trip I have been on from Eagle Eye Tours, and they have all been great. I would not hesitate to book with them again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great trip! Our itinerary was adapted due to weather, but we still saw many bird species, amazing ocean mammals and other wildlife. A big thank you to Yousif; a very knowledgeable, friendly and excellent guide.”
“I was looking forward to exploring the birds of New Brunswick and was not disappointed. The tour was as described on the Eagle Eye website. The varied habitats gave excellent opportunities to see a variety of birds not seen on the west coast where I live. The guides were excellent and went out of their way to find as many species as possible. The accommodation was good. I appreciated the all picnic and box lunches which kept us in the outdoors and minimized restaurant eating. Highlights for me was the pelagic boat trip, time on Grand Manan and the migrating semi-palmated sandpipers in the 10’s of thousands. (45000 the day we were there!)”
“Totally professional including the adminstrative staff, the conception and plan of the tour, and the execution of all elements, including significant internal air travel. Tour guides Ken and Blair at the highest level of professional and personal behavior. Superb naturalists.”
“Great service on all fronts. Exceptional team effort and fantastic daily excursions. The Adventure Canada team is like a family and we were adopted into it whole heartedly. The ship’s crew from seamen to captain, including galley staff, wait staff and stewards very proficient… finest kind.”
“Excellent and quick replies to any queries. Kind and caring staff who know their birds and other wildlife intimately. Just have to save for the next trip.”
“The fact that the group was small made it very enjoyable. The leaders were excellent. Each of the three locations provided a different experience. Although birding was my main goal the flora in all three locations was unique and interesting. Our days were action packed and rewarding.”
“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.”
“Our leaders, Joachim Bertrands and Blair Dudeck, were wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, and very hard-working. Aside from birds, they showed us other wildlife, and made a point of helping us with butterfly IDs and plant information when we expressed an interest. They demonstrated versatility, too, when heavy rain forced rescheduling of our visit to the remarkable cathedral grove in the coastal rainforest. Despite the necessity of a workaround / repeat visit, we still had great views and photographic opportunities for every single one of our target species there – even the gastropod Ariolimax (aka Banana Slug)! I am very impressed that this tour spent all of its time on birding, wildlife and nature observation, and did not squander valuable hours on trivialities. There were a number of optional early morning bird hikes and evening sessions for owls / nocturnal birds. Those who wished could relax in the evening, or sleep in mornings, but why would I select an excellent birding trip and then miss good birds because it was inconvenient?? There was enough time to get a good night’s sleep every day – but I did have to be efficient with my time in order to attend every single event. Kiana at the office was very helpful. As a novice traveller, I had a great many questions, and she was always patient and supportive. In recognition of individuals with special dietary needs, the leaders made an effort to be flexible re meal arrangements. They even managed a surprise impromptu birthday celebration drama during our remote picnic supper site – with full cooperation by our entire cast and crew. An amazing tour, with an array of friendly naturalist-participants from across the continent, and two outstanding leaders. Who could ask for more?”
“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.”
“Eagle-Eye's Newfoundland Tour was scenic, informative, and rewarding. We came to see Puffins and saw 1,000's on two different occasions. We also saw 1,000's of Northern Gannet, Common Murre, Razorbill, Thick-billed Murre, and other birds. We saw lots of beautiful rocky coastline, ancient fossils, historic sites, and quaint villages, in addition to the colorful houses of St Johns. We were surprised and thrilled to discover the Veiled Virgin. Our guides were knowledgeable birders and helped everyone to see the target birds. The hotels were nice, and the people of Newfoundland were warm, friendly, and helpful. Our group was all friendly, and we had a great tour. Highly recommended.”
