“Belize and Tikal with Eagle Eye was a wonderful trip and I would certainly recommend the company again. Our guide Yousif was great and made each outing full of adventure, new sightings, lots of humour, and everything ran pretty smoothly. His photos and synopsis of our trip is something I will enjoy reading many times. Certainly my expectations of seeing many new species was surpassed and getting lots of walking in was great. I was looking forward to the 2nd location having a pool, but due to a booking mix up that did not happen for us. That was a bit of a disappointment, but short lived as the Ruins were fantastic to see.”
“We had a wonderful, relaxed tour that allowed us to see all the birds (and there were a lot!) while also enjoying the scenery of the places we visited.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our birding trip with Skye Haas. He is an amazing professional ornithologist and very personable young man. He made every effort to assure all participants saw each species. He provided boundless information about the species we saw, their natural history, current population status and current distribution. Skye made our trip very informative and enjoyable. His enthusiasm for birding was infectious and we all were willing to put in long hours to see all the birds we possibly could find. This allowed us to document over 215 species. Kudos to Skye Haas!”
“This was a wonderful tour with ernesto and Jared. With so many people, it was great to have two very knowledgeable guides. Both were very patient - making sure everyone saw the targeted birds. I loved exploring the ruins, the boat tour and hiking. Thank you.”
“What a great tour we had. Thank you so much. All went according to plan, and the birding was spectacular. At times it was hard to keep one's head tilted up observing the birds. The accommodations were wonderful, some more rustic than others. Loved the garden and parklike setting of the Bougainvillea, and the grounds of La Quinta De Sarapiqui, and of the Arenal Observatory Lodge. What wonderful, exciting bird and wildlife places. The Paraiso Quetzal Lodge was an adventure in itself, as it was quite cool there and with 4 blankets on the bed it was difficult to move around. The room was just not built for cool air that seeped up through the boards and blew under the door. But it was all part of the adventure in the mountains. And we saw the Resplendent Quetzal the one morning. Ernesto just knew everything about birds, and the flora and fauna, and at times he was a bit humorous. He was superb. And Steve was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about everything and very friendly. He was super too. Hard to believe that they know the birds by size, shape, colour and song so well. Would recommend this tour.”
“I was along as a non-birding participant, and I still enjoyed the incredible scenery and wild places. Guyana's lack of infrastructure makes for rustic accommodations, which I loved. Just don't expect every-day wifi. Bring and use insect repellent--I got munched by chiggers, which was my own darn fault and detracted from my experience. Paul is a fabulously kind and birdy guide who can track down tiny gray birds all day long, and our local guide Gary is an all-around great guy too, with an encyclopedic knowledge of Guyanese birds.”
“I have recently returned from the trip to Panama - Canal Zone and Darien and would highly recommend this tour. I was most impressed with the organizational skills and energy of both guides Ernesto and Kyle. What was most impressive was their extensive knowledge not only of birds but of all things in the natural environment. Every walk was educational including the night walks which were magical. Must also acknowledge our patient, polite and great driver Felix! Thank you Eagle-Tours”
“I have been on several tours with Eagle Eye and have no hesitation in recommending them; guides are knowledgeable and professional. I look forward to talking to the friendly and helpful office staff when booking my next trip.”
“This birding trip to Namibia etc by Birding Ecotours was pretty well as described pre tour. The guide was excellent and dealt as well as possible with all problems. The vehicle was not very good, tire problems, problems with the luggage trailer, air conditioner barely working in extreme heat. There was confusion about tips; which are included ? Every lodge has a guide or 2 added. Are their tips included? The accommodation was very good to fair, and food was good. Birding was very good with a decent final list. Overall happy with experience.”
“I have been recommending this company for a number of years now because of their attention to detail, quick assistance with trip queries, quality of bird guides and their support of Bird Studies Canada.”
“Great trip with a very good guide. Other travelers were super people. One recommendation: a better van with better air conditioning because it was really a hot time of the year. Lodging was great especially the Ngeti Lodge.”
“Great birding trip with a good mixture of walking and traveling most days. Guides were knowledgeable and there were extras like a Great Barrier Reef boat trip with snorkeling. I like that the company offsets its carbon footprint. Highly recommend Eagle Eye.”
“Our Australia guide, Barry Davies, is not only a bird expert, but reads people well and adjusts accordingly. He also has built great relationships with local contacts, from other guides right through to restaurant wait staff, which added to the whole tour experience.”
“A wonderful experience seeing the migrations of Whooping Cranes and many other birds. We were fortunate to find a large flock of Whooping Cranes on our first day. Our guides were very knowledgeable and strove to show us as much variety as possible.”
“I was very happy with this tour - it was a real adventure! I loved the contact with the communities and the excellent presentations and workshops on board to give us the background of the area and people. The booking done through Eagle Eye went well and Kirsten did and excellent job. Thank you.”
“This trip was one of my best so far. My Arctic trip was well-organized, and I had all the information I needed, with a lot of extras. Communications were easy and prompt. It was easy to get insurance quotes. My questions were answered right away. I will definitely travel with Eagle-Eye again.”
“Personal help all the way through.The tour we went on was perfectly suited to us,and our guide Alex Lamoreaux was superb.I would recommend this company to anyone.”
