Birding Tour Reviews & Testimonials

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

Great overall experience Eagle-eye did a tremendous job. The guides and itinerary were superb.

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.

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. read less

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.

Great customer service Great customer service, quick to respond and helpful with all aspects of booking the tour. I will definitely use Eagle Eye tours again!

This tour goes to birding hot spots along the TX Gulf Coast This tour goes to hot spots, well-known to birders and popular at this time of year. We were grateful to be taken there by Kyle Schanta, our excellent leader, and to leave all the logistics to him and Eagle-Eye Tours.

Eagle Eye provided very helpful pre trip guidelines and checklist. Our guide Kyle was fantastic, very knowledgeable, always trying to make sure we all had a good time, very thoughtful about keeping me well fed as a vegan with the poor options in Texas. Saw loads of new and exciting birds and learned a lot about how to find them. I thought we moved at a good pace but I was also glad that it wasn't a problem to wander a little further from the group every once in a while. Would warn future trippers about the demonic mosquitoes on the Texan coast. read less

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.

The Best Trip Ever Our Costa Rican experiences were excellent due to the trip's comprehensive design and its exceptional guides. All pre trip communications with Eagle-Eye were helpful and thorough. This was a very thoughtful and well planned trip.

This trip was excellent as we expected. This trip was excellent as we expected.

Great trip Great trip, great guides, great birds! Wonderful introduction to the birds, as well as culture, of Costa Rica. Made me want to return next year!

a cornucopia of birds Lots of species , great guides, great companions.

Costa Rica Birding Sampler We were exposed to a vast array of marvelous birds, directed by two experienced guides, and taken to a variety of diverse locations to accomplish this.

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.

The Rio Grande Valley is a great place to bird. 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.

Costa Rica Sampler The tour delivered in every way. The guides worked great as a team and were patient and helpful throughout the tour. Our other tour companions were great fun and made the trip extra special. All accommodations were first-rate and the people of Costa Rica were friendly and welcoming. It was a wonderful trip!

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.

Panama Bird Tour I have used EET many times. Always impressed with how well-planned and executed their tours are. Our guides (Ernesto and Paz) were 5 stars +++.
