“I thoroughly enjoyed my Eagle-Eye Tour to New Brunswick and Grand Manan in August 2017! Our group bird count was approximately 125 birds - I ticked 40-odd life birds off my list, including my target sea birds! We also enjoyed whale, seal and porpoise sitings; lovely flowers and butterfly species in the beautiful scenic province. Jared Clark was an exceptional guide - patient, good humoured and an extremely knowledgeable birder and lover of nature. He did his best to make sure everyone in our group had their eye on the bird in sight! This was my first Eagle-Eye Tour and am sure it will not be my last!”
“I did this trip as part of a ten week holiday and of all the tours this was the definite highlight. Being a small company, I found the direct interaction with Cam a great help to decide whether this was the trip I wanted to do. The trip itself was very well organised and exceptional for the price. The accommodation was in basic tents, but exactly what I wanted for a real outdoors adventure. We were well looked after by the local guides who were very helpful and friendly and made us some very delicious meals - not your average camping food! We saw many Narwhal and about 5 polar bears. I considered a number of other similar trips through other companies, and I definitely think I made the best choice by going with Eagle Eye Tours. Highly recommended!”
“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..”
“Hard working and extremely knowledgeable guides made for an excellent trip. The days were long but we saw beautiful parts of BC and it was all well organized.”
“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.”
“This was a private tour. Our participation was solicited by the tour leader with whom we had traveled in the past. Our group consisted of 8 travelers, our leader, and our Inuit hosts. We participated primarily for the opportunity to see harwhals. We had many terrific sightings of narwhals, some in very close proximity. We also had wonderful close encounters with polar bears. Unusual sightings included a Stellar's eider and an Ivory gull (but no dovekies!). We had informative visits to the bird cliffs and to some ancient Inuit sod huts on Bylot Island that incorporated whale vertebrae into the walls of the huts. We had a wonderful time. Wildlife sightings were stellar and our group was congenial and committed to spending time on the ice. We would highly recommend this trip.”
“Wonderful tour starting in Elk Island National Park, on to Yellowknife and then to Cambridge Bay. Our guides were thoughtful experts and the small group, 12 participants and 2 guides, was very condusive to our being flexible. All accomodations were comfortably and the tour was extremely well organized. I found the schedule a little packed and would have preferred a bit more personal time in the mornings and evenings based on my energy level but other participants were quite happy to be busy the whole time. A big thank you to our 2 excellent guides and an efficient tour company. We saw an amazing number of interesting birds and also observed and identified other wildlife including mammals, butterflies and wild flowers.”
“Terrific combination of dinosaurs and birds. Guides extremely knowledgeable on both. Very personable. Itinerary flowed well. Terrific views of the birds, obtained most targets! Paying for our dinners separately a pain, include in one price.”
“The Netherlands & Belgium: Birds, Art & Architecture May 2017 was a very enjoyable tour. Our Guide was professional, very knowledgeable, patient and fun. Our small group allowed a degree of flexibility during the days which was nice. The itinerary was outstanding. We saw so much of Holland which you wouldn't normally see going on your own. The birding was excellent. It would have been nice to have the Art and Architecture aspect a bit better incorporated as we were left mostly to discover that on our own while in cities, towns or museums/galleries. Having said that, I really enjoyed being able to see what we did during the tour. It was a really nice combination. The hotels we stayed in were very good and well located near towns/cities. The breakfasts were very good that each hotel provided. Our lunch stops were in towns during the day and it was nice to go to something a little different each time. Dinner was mainly in the hotel dining rooms which were very good. We had a couple of dinners out. A couple of comments - 1) although tricky, the guide should be firm about seat rotation in the van. If a client is booking a road tour they should clearly understand that they will have to move around to be fair to all the participants. 2) the guide shouldn't have to manage a food budget in front of the clients. The tour should be priced to include the costs. Most tours don't include lunch so perhaps this could be eliminated so the food budget won't be exceeded. No one on our tour would have objected. Overall a very enjoyable time and a great way to see this part of the world and the birds. Thank you Eagle Eye.”
“The tour was well organized with excellent food and accommodations with first rate guides and a comfortable bus with an excellent driver.We covered every altitude from Crocodile infested mangroves through middle altitudes of rainforest to dryer rain shadows and up to the highest forests in central Costa rica.Covering all Costa Rican ecosystems gave us exposure to the maximum amount of birds.We counted well over 300 species, our guide was remarkable at finding and Identifying birds as well as the fauna and plants.I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone seriously interested in birding.”
“I went on the 2016 "Into the NorthWest Passage" trip. All pre-trip organising by Eagle-Eye Tours was smooth and efficient, with the friendliest of staff. As Eagle Eye Tours is a small family-run company, I felt like I was part of them when we were on the Ocean Adventure ship. Eagle-Eye owners, with their children, were in the zodiac with me when we were surrounded by 50 belugas! A once in a lifetime experience!”
“My wife and I have been birding with Eagle-Eye for almost ten years, visiting several countries in Central and South America, and southern India and Sri Lanka, and will be returning to Costa Rica this February. We have come to know several of their guides, and they are all professional and helpful. I have problems with my vision, and they are invariably patient with me while I try toI locate the bird. They know the birds well, and usually employ local guides as well as their own. We will continue to travel with them as long as we can.”
“I've been to Hawaii, Trinidad/Tobago, Cuba, Point Pele, and many other places with Eagle-Eye Tours, and they are always good. The organization of the tour is tight, the guides know their stuff, everything works. It's aimed at mid-range birders, not twitchers and not newbies, although these always show up and they are accommodated, very well. The guides offer more than most people want (or have the stamina for), such as pre-dawn bird walks, full days, and owling/night walks. Obviously you do what you want. The only downside, as of all tours, is occasionally another guest can be a problem. I've only had that once, and it got dealt with appropriately.”
“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.”
“Kudos to everyone involved for making the organization and completion of the tour completely painless. Consumer satisfaction seemed to be a high priority with everyone involved.”
“I joined this tour last minute, and Sheryl at Adventure Canada went out of her way to get me on the trip - the last airline sea had just been given back to Air North :( But it worked, my additional day in Pond Inlet turned out to be an additional night in Iqaluit, but we all arrived in Pond Inlet on the same day so that went well. People were great, the itinerary was great, and the trip greatly exceeded my expectations. So glad we saw Narwhals for a brief time one day, but Bowheads abounded each day and they were magificent, along with some excellent views of polar bears. My only concern about this trip is that it will be more popular each year, and disposal of human waste is a major concern. Can't keep dumping it in the sea! Also permits to kill 65 polar bears each season, but I know that's out of your hands. Thanks to Cam for letting me know about the Narwhal hunting ahead of time too. I have recommended this trip to several of my friends ..... hope you get to meet them!”
“In exotic locations, the combination of Eagle-Eye's professional guides and local, in-country expertise pays off in immensely successful and enjoyable tours.”
“We've gone on two birding tours with Eagle-eye, one to Florida and the other a combined tour of gardens and birds, in the southern part of England. Both were a lot of fun (particularly the latter, which I hadn't expected), run by friendly and knowledgeable people. Accommodations were generally good to excellent (4 or 5 star), although one night I would say was only 3 out of 5 star. Quality service from both the guides and the office staff.”
