“Newfoundland is a wonderful place to visit, but our guide, Yousif, added so much to the trip, and not just because he is an excellent birder and teacher of birding. He built tremendous camaraderie amongst the tour participants, encouraged us to learn no matter where we were in our birding journey, and of course is an excellent birder and helped us spot and hear everything in the entire world. We saw and heard 110 birds on this trip; 52 of them were life species for me.”

“Loved this tour. Newfoundland is just beautiful. The tour visits a variety of ecosystems so you really get to see all the different natural landscapes of Newfoundland. And the birds! So much to see. We saw so many of the birds I wanted to see.”

“Our guide, Yousif, was truly the heart of the trip. His knowledge, guidance, and kindness made every experience so wonderful. Our entire group emphatically agreed we’d do any Eagle Eye tour he leads.”

“We have taken many Eagle-Eye birding tours, mostly to Central and South America. On one of these tours we met a top birder from the U.S. who had been on many more tours than we had, all over the world. When we asked for her favorite tour, she said it was this one—so we went, and she was correct. Jared Clarke was a wonderful guide, who had grown up in Nfld., and seemed to know personally every species in the province. One day the weather was a bit sketchy, but he had an alternative plan for the day which kept us busy visiting indoor museums, displays etc.—a great day, on a great tour; from the Avalon Peninsula, across the central Region to Gros Morne, we saw and enjoyed it all. Highly recommended.”

“I have done several wonderful tours with Eagle-Eye, they have all been exceptional starting with their customer service which is excellent and friendly. On a recent tour to Grand Newfoundland the tour was well planned with visits to places where the birding was exceptional. The 2 guides always made sure that everybody in the group had the opportunity to see birds that they had spotted, and there were always plenty of birds. Newfoundland is a unique part of Canada and with magnificent high cliffs covered with large numbers of sea birds and crashing waves below. I also enjoyed the locals that we met along the way. All in all a wonderful experience.”

“This tour may have a lower species count but it’s loaded with spectacular experiences like standing near a three hundred foot cliff surrounded by tens of thousands of gannets nesting on the cliff sides sprinkled with murres ,razorbills all nesting on the cliff’s and flying around your head above and below.If you like pelagic birds this is the tour for you. Go put on a boat to islands loaded with a million puffins intermingled with numerous species of gulls murres cormorants in the air and gray whales in the water you don’t know whether to look up or down.Watch the reactions of millions of birds to an eagle dominating the air space.Then go inland to the boreal forest and find warblers, redstarts, black &whites Tennessee and magnolia warblers plus many more.You will go through swampy areas with orchids lady slippers wild irises and a multitude of other flora and fauna.Newfoundland is rich with historical legacies like pirates and fighting to hold the best fishing grounds. Visit forts and learn of the battles for the conquest of one of the greatest fishing grounds in the world.There are numerous geological stops showing some of the oldest rocks in the world and a trilobite fossil.This is a spectacular tour for birders and nature lovers.Eagle eye tours puts you up in the best accommodation and they have very knowledgeable guides”
