Very efficient friendly advice

We went on Naturetrek’s Baja California and Sea of Cortez holiday, which was an exclusive charter of MV Searcher for whale-watching and other wildlife. The itinerary gave us lots of opportunities to see wildlife both at sea and ashore, and the excellent crew were flexible enough to adjust plans to take account of weather and to optimise wildlife-watching opportunities. Naturetrek always seems to find the best local companies and guides to use. We saw four types of whale including four individual blue whales, countless dolphins, seals and sea lions, and many wonderful birds. Our Naturetrek tour leader was knowledgeable, friendly and worked constantly to make the trip the best it could be. Our flight home to the UK was held up and eventually cancelled because of a fire and the subsequent closure of Heathrow airport; our tour leader and the Naturetrek UK office were magnificent in dealing with this and making new arrangements, so that we ended up with a nice holiday extension and no worries! We’ve travelled with Naturetrek many times and will do so again.

Naturetrek organise wildlife holidays using their own staff and the best local operators. They remember that it’s a holiday as well as a wildlife experience so guiding, food, transport, accommodation are all carefully thought out to make an enjoyable trip. The office staff are excellent.

A well balanced tour covering wildlife and culture in dramatic rugged landscape surroundings and a great adventure with wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable people. It was challenging terrain for wildlife watching, but the enthusiastic and dedicated team of tour guide, co-guide, spotters and drivers enabled us to find and photograph the widest range of species possible.

Naturetrek operate a sustainable tourism business. By running a wide range of specialised holidays both overseas and UK, including day trips covering all client abilities.

Everything was so pleasant; the two leaders were superb and very knowledgeable,, the entire group were so friendly and the hotel was exceptional, catering as it did to my odd requests of food for someone like me visiting India !

I have travelled with Naturetrek several times and have always found them efficient, helpful , approachable and very friendly: nothing is too much effort for them. I will certainly be using them again.

An exhausting, full-on, but immensely satisfying experience.

We travelled with Naturetrek. The pre-departure information was very helpful, and the tour ran smoothly, due to the efforts and enthusiasm of our expert guides.

A 10 day birdwatching and puma-spotting holiday in Patagonia. Majestic scenery, wonderful birdlife and chances to see puma with a knowledgeable local guide.

All arrangements, connecting flights and extension to the Atacama Desert made by Naturetrek

A more relaxed two centre birding holiday in Colombia

Naturetrek provided an excellent tour with expert guides throughout.

A fabulous trip from San Diego aboard the MV Searcher, down the Pacific coast of Baja California and up into the sea of Cortez. Amongst the many highlights were seeing humpback,grey, blue and sperm whales and a superpod of 5000 common dolphins. We saw many birds including pelicans, tropicbirds , hummingbirds and frigate birds. We had walks ashore and trips aboard panga boats. The crew were fantastic, very professional and they took great care of us. The food was amazing.

The whole tour was very well organised and the guide was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. The company were top class when we were unable to get back to Heathrow because of the fire, both the guide who was with us and the team in the office. They found us hotels, rebooked our flights and after an extra unscheduled but enjoyable two extra days in San Diego we flew home. They worked overtime to sort everyone out bearing in mind that they had other tours stuck all over the world and at Heathrow. They were really excellent.

A 14-day wildlife watching tour, starting at the Victoria Falls, then on to Chobe National Park in Botswana, followed by several sites in northern Namibia. This was a very enjoyable trip, staying at comfortable lodges in memorable locations, with great travelling companions and highly knowledgeable guides, Highlights were the boat trips on the Chobe and Okavango rivers, and the sheer amount of wildlife that we saw.

Naturetrek is an experienced and reliable wildlife travel company. They provide good support and information prior to the tour, and a wide range of destinations. I have travelled with them several times, and each has been a memorable and enjoyable experience.
