Birding Tour Reviews & Testimonials

Blair and Kiirsta were awesome. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Hope to see you again.

This was my first trip with Eagle Eye and it was a very organized and easy trip with lots of birds, thank you

Eagle-Eye is a wonderful company. Sophie, who worked with us on this tour, was extremely kind, helpful and communicative.

We enjoy our Eagle-Eye Bird Tours.

This was our fifth tour with Eagle-Eye, and we are already considiernig a sixth! We like smaller groups and staying at the kind of lodging that has something special to offer. We especially enjoy eating breakfast and dinner at the lodge or hotel where we stay, and staying for three nights at each of three locations was just right. We recommend arriving a day early, and staying on a day at the end. The hotels chosen for the beginning and end of the tour were well worth a second night's stay, and Eagle-Eye arranged that for us.

Hotel Bougainvillea had great accommodations, food and beautiful grounds. Punta Leone is a great location for outings to Carara National Park. The hotel Rinconcito Verde is in a beautiful setting although I don’t recommend drinking the water there, I had an issue afterwards. I would recommend having a cooler stocked with water for that stay. I enjoyed our stay at Arenal Lodge the view was breathtaking.

The information provided was great, very thorough and necessary for time of year. Great prompt messages and clear information to participants! Well done! Again, 5 star!!

Great tour options and very impressed with guides. Some improvements could be made with scheduled locations and choice of time spent in less natural areas. If Arenal location was second after coast, would have involved less driving through city areas. Also, water in central highlands was questionable any some people got sick. Tour should have individual bottled water available. Food was amazing…kudos to lunch locations!

Very responsive to any questions and provided instructions very clearly.

My first Eagle-Eye Tours experience was excellent. Very professional and well organized. I loved the app and the website, plus the small group size. I will definitely be taking another tour soon!

The itinerary of birding locations in South Texas was outstanding. I’m very impressed with the number and quality of parks we visited. Some of these preserves would do well to develop ecolodges for future birders and naturalists, saving on transportation costs to hotels and restaurants. I’m impressed with Eagle Eye Tours, with the South Texas Tour being my first experience with the company.

This is our second trip with Eagle-Eye Tours. We have found them to be very well planned and organized, while remaining flexible to revise itineraries in order to see target birds. Importantly, they are very safety conscious, which is a big factor for this nervous traveller. The guides have all been outstanding. I anticipate touting with Eagle-Eye in the future.

The pre-trip information and help was complete and very helpful. The company is very responsive to questions. The guides knew their stuff and did an excellent job. The local guides were great at getting us to the birds and finding them for us, and even when the language barrier popped up, they still got their message across. The Eagle-Eye guide, Michael, did an excellent job and almost always succeeded in getting the target birds.

I would travel with Eagle-eye again. The tour was well put together and the support was always there! Than you, Sophie!

The hotel where we stayed in Corpus Christi was subpar. My room had a stained/dirty carpet which made me wonder about the facility. The rest of the lodging was satisfactory to excellent. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the travel plans & accomodationd.

Eagle-Eye offers tours to many places. They are very helpful regarding planning and booking a trip. They provide useful information about what to bring and expect on a trip. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to see cool birds.

My only suggestion would be for those out of country give greater time notice to allow for checks to arrive within the requested timeframe to avoid penalty. Also, it would be very helpful to have detailed maps of the areas we’re visiting, showing proposed stops. It helps orient the out of towners 😊

Eagle Eye tours is an excellent tour comany offering a wide variety of birding tours with excellent guides. The staff have been responsive and personal. Easy to contact and quick to respond to questions or concerns. Excellent quality at a reasonable price.

Read the reviews. I recommend Eagle-Eye Tours. They do what they say, and say what they do. The staff on both ends of the tour are pleasant and very accommodating.

If you like to travel to view and photograph beautiful birds and wildlife, DO IT NOW! Eagle-Eye Tours is the best place to start. They are reasonable prices, great accomondations, all meals and professional guides.

Well-planned trips. Great logistical support. Knowledgeable and experienced guides.

I have done 5 tours with Eagle-Eye, and have always felt that they were well organized, minimizing potential issues, but when an issue arise, they had my back.

Good communication and organization. I especially liked the fact that we had 2 mini vans for 12 people. It allowed us to stretch out comfortably. Trip was excellently paced.

We've taken three Eagle-Eye tours so far and really enjoyed each. We're scheduled to take another soon. The company delivers for us and we highly recommend them to others.

Good value, excellent guides, and great locations for their tours.

All arrangements ran smoothly, and the lodges were good to excellent.

Eagle Eye is a top notch tour company, specializing in birding and wildlife experiences. I was impressed by how well everything was organized and how I was treated by my tour guides.

Company is professional and cares about its customers.

Tour well put together. Responsive to queries. Maybe needed a bit more detail on how to exit Tocumen which has two terminals, landing at one and leaving through the other one. Perhaps a bit more info on the terrain that would be covered which was quite difficult at times. As in my previous tour extremely knowledgeable guides. Very energetic.

My experience with Eagle-Eye Tours was only positive. Prompt and good communication and excellent made this a trip to remember! To say nothing of the birds which were beyond belief.

Our guides worked well together and were very professional. They handled all the eBird reporting for us. There was down time for people who wanted it. Dinner was always at 6:30 pm so no late nights. It was a good introduction for beginners, but there were some incredible birds for experienced birds as well. One of our guides gave us non-bird related talks that were very informative - about cocoa, growing and producing coffee, and tidbids about different plants and which birds liked them.

The company provided all the information I needed to prepare for the tour. The trip was well planned and led by an excellent leader with tremendous knowledge of the birds of the region.

Celine was helpful and all the communications were timely and helpful. Thanks for helping Liron organize this trip.

This was my 5th birding tour with Eagle-Eye. Our previous tours have us convinced we will never travel with any other company. For this one, the birding was an optional part of a tour to some of the most remote islands in Melanesia. The cultural stuff was so incredible that it distracted us to the point where several days we elected to skip the birding altogether, and did not regret any of our choices. Nonetheless, our 2 birding guides were able to find many of the endemics for the 10-person group, and we could have picked up more birds if we had stuck with them, but at what cost? The cultural stuff is not to be missed! Even some of the hard-core birders took a day here and there to appreciate the welcomes from the little villages, (many of the kids seeing tourists for the very first time!) complete with traditional dress, song, and dance (or sing sings as they call them in these islands). I could easily do this whole tour again and not repeat what I did on any of the 14 full days on The Heritage Adventurer.

Thanks to our excellent guides, LOUIE DOMBROSKI and KYLE SCHANTA, I was able to see and photograph many new birds.

The leaders were really helpful in showing me what to look at to distinguish between different species. I felt like I learned a lot. All while having a nice time with different people.

A well organized and carefully crafted tour (despite accommodation hiccups in Intervales Park). Forested ecosystems require a thorough knowledge of bird vocalizations - fortunately both guides excelled in this regard, resulting in a huge list of bird species at tour's end including an equally huge list of endemic and near-endemic species.

Fantastic birds and animals, great accommodations, friendly and knowledgeable guides. Highly recommended!

Organization was great. Guides excellent. Lectures very good. Staff excellent,

Our tour guides were absolutely excellent. Their breadth of knowledge and expertise allowed us to see hundreds of species including some rare and hard to find birds.

The guides make this trip - so many birds. Costa Rica is a beautiful country & we experienced so much variety in our locations, accommodations, food & birds!

Wonderful guides, good communication from the company, understanding and helpful staff.

Great guides, locations and accommodations. Excellent value.

Great tour. Our guide had an exceptionally high knowledge of birds, plants, ecology, local history, indigenous customs etc.

This was my first time using Eagle-Eye Tours and it was wonderful from start to finish! The guides were excellent and I had a great time looking for birds and exploring Saskatchewan. The company selected a great hotel to serve as our “home base” for the tour. I also enjoyed the lunch and snack options that were provided while we were out looking for birds.
