Bird diversity and beautiful environments The diversity of environments visited and the birding 'extras' like watching banding at Long Point. Algonquin was a pleasant addition because of the beauty of the environment and the rarity of the birds

Smiles for Point Pelee & Algonquin Park Eagle Eye Point Pelee & Algonquin Park Tour: We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Every location we visited was great with well planned days as well as thoughtful attention to detail and participants. Jared and Tim are wonderful guides and excellent birders. They comfortably share their knowledge making sure everyone is on the bird.

The pricing was good. The guides were excellent... read more

Birding at its best, a well-organized tour. 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... read more

They made sure we saw a wide variety of birds and were all safe even though keeping the guests separated from the general public was hard work.

Guide was fun, compelling, flexible and knowledgeable or found information if he didn't know it. A bit bird heavy for the non-birder, but always photographic opportunities. Would have liked a bit more trekking or exploring by foot, but that may not have been... read more

Not always easy but oh, so much fun! This trip is great if you understand just how hard owls are to find. We traveled down countless farm roads. Being with other experienced birders was very helpful as we all understood the difficulty of spotting them. The best part was everything else we saw. Going out after dark to simply listen... read more

South Texas Trip was AMAZING The company was great. Two strengths stand out. The guides and the pre-tour support information. Only area for improvement would be notifying participants once the group minimum has been reached to ensure the trip goes foreward.

Oaxaca to Villahermosa in 14 days We had a great guide and driver leading a small group (7) of birders. All information given to us by Eagle Eye prior to the tour was reasonably accurate and helpful. The tour was well organized and gave value for the money.

Tropical birding at its best A top-tier experience. Tropical birding at its best. The tour was highly professional, extremely productive for birding, and great fun. The guides must be the best in Central America. Travel, accommodations, and communication were all top notch. An outstanding tour.
