“The animals at the floe edge as well as the quality of the guides and tour leader (Ken) made the experience fantastic. Lots of birds, several narwhals and seals, and a polar bear with very close-up views!”
“The crew with Bluewater were very experienced, safety first for all guests, and made sure that we got to experience all encounters that came our way with no set schedule so we could whip up a side channel to see something unexpected if the opportunity came our way. Meals were fabulous (we had not one but two chefs on board-one in training). They both entertained us each day with their musical talents! Very well run expedition with Jonas at our helm. Thanks to staff at Eagle-Eye for their help in planning my trip.”
“We enjoyed this birding tour of Southern Spain. The guides were excellent. They knew where to find the birds including the specialties. The Whale Watching Excursion was fantastic. We watched a pod of Pilot whales hang out right beside the boat. The countryside was blanketed with wild flowers. While looking for birds, the group also visited historical sites, villages, natural reserves and National Parks and a enjoyed a sampling of local cuisine. We recommend going a few days before the tour starts and staying on a few days after the tour ends. There are easy day trips from Malaga where the tour started and it was easy to explore Madrid from the hotel where the tour ended.”
“The tour guides were wonderful, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about birding and the opportunity to share it with others. All the stops were interesting and combined birding with geology and local knowledge. We were very impressed and had a great time.”
“Our January, 2020 trip to Costa Rica was a 10-day "sampler" that immersed us in the astounding diversity and beauty of Costa Rican birds. Our superb guides, Ernesto and Paz, not only displayed an in-depth knowledge of Costa Rica's rich flora and fauna, but they also shared with us the history and culture of Costa Rica, giving us the feeling of truly connecting with this country. The logistics of the trip were carefully designed to visit a variety of habitats over a 10-day span to afford us the best opportunity to see as many birds as possible. We always felt that we were in good hands, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the adventure.”
“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.”
“We booked two trips with Adventure Canada through Eagle-Eye. The staff of Eagle-Eye are fantastic, they were prompt with answers and kept us well informed for our adventures. Trips with Adv. Can. were, Greenland and the NWP in 2015 and the Mighty St. Lawrence in 2016”
“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.”
“Every day was packed full of new things to see. There was ample time for for photographers and we all got good views of everything. We managed well over 400 bird species because of the amazing skill of the guide, James Wolstencroft. The food was very good and the lodges were all amazing in different ways. The most basic ones were surrounded by the most wildlife and were the most memorable, but they were all well-chosen. The group size (6) was good for the Land Cruisers and the pace was perfect. Great trip.”
