“I would recommend this tour only for keen birders, due to the time spent looking for furtive species. The tour was interesting with many different birds seen and a variety of countryside travelled. The guides were very competent, but too many stops were planned on some days and with the heat it became a bit much to endure. Accomodations and meals were generally good.”

“Being the only Australian on the tour with the exception of the two wonderful guides, I was incredibly proud of them. Their sincere interest in making sure everyone was getting as much out of the tour as they could provide was a stand out. Their knowledge and enthusiasm was a pleasure to experience”

“We had an excellent trip in the Northern Territory at the end of October, 2025. The birding was excellent and the hguides, Kye and Gregor, were great.”

“This tour not simply met my expectations, it surpassed them. Our guide was incredibly experienced and was well versed in the habits, calls and preferred habitats of target birds and also posessed a wealth of knowledge regarding the history and customs of the original custodians of this rugged land. He was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to help the group obtain encounters with some of the more elusive target birds such as the sandstone shrikethrush and the black-banded fruit dove. The other members of the group were friendly and supportive, taking on certain duties such as recording species and helping others get on to the birds, ensuring that everyone got the opportunity to see the birds we found. The nine days I was on this tour was an incredible adventure with something new to see and experience each day, including birds, breathtaking landscapes, ancient artwork, flora and other fauna. As an Aussie, I was already familiar with many of the birds we encountered in the NT and still I saw and heard many new fascinating species each and every day with scores of "lifers" added to my list by the end of it all. Whether you are a visitor from overseas or interstate, I highly recommend the Tropical Australia Eagle Eye birding tour.”

“This tour, which took place in October 2022, was a huge disappointment. The guide, Rob Elvish, had not done any preparation and did not seem like he even wanted to be in the Northern Territory. Relying on his last time leading this tour, pre-pandemic, we had days where we did not get our target birds (this does happen, but this time it was because of lack of homework) and the places where we were scheduled to eat lunch were closed and had been closed for months. There were times when the trip became unsafe and participants returned to the bus because they didn't feel like they could safely do the hikes. For example, one evening we were led to believe that a hike would be a simple walk and we did not have the hiking boots, walking sticks, and headlamps required for a steep climb at sunset. I am only giving this tour 2 stars because of Chris, the assistant leader, who really saved the tour with his knowledge of how to use eBird and other smartphone apps.”

Donna, thank-you for submitting your detailed feedback, it is extremely helpful to have such a comprehensive overview of the unfolding of this trip. We are sorry that this tour did not live up to your expectations and have taken your comments to the guide. We are also making efforts to ensure that our app and website more clearly reflect the grade of hiking involved each day and that our guides provide better information about what is involved in each hike. We are happy to hear that you valued having Chris as a guide on the tour. Thank you for taking a tour with us and we hope to see you on another tour one day.

“This was a great blend of birding and Aboriginal culture. Having a Barking Owl stare back at me made me forget completely how hot and humid it was! Beautiful birds and Australians have to be the friendliest people I have ever encountered.”
