Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A short holiday with a small group of nature enthusiasts in the Coto Donana and Sierra Morena to enjoy nature, interesting landscapes and hopefully sightings of the Iberian Lynx. The tour was well organized, the team and co leaders worked tirelessly scanning the landscape for Lynx, Mouflon well anything that flew or moved. At meals and particularily at breakfast they were very attentive ensuring we had breakfast and refreshments before a busy day of looking for wildlife. The Lynx were particularily elusive but at the end of 2 days of scanning different Landscape we were succesful. Overall two adult Lynx in a very romantic mood and two yearling cubs. Picnic lunches were most enjoyable with Spanish Tortella, local cheeses and meats. The company of fellow like minded travellers, the wonderfull scenery as well as attentiveness of the tour leaders made a wonderful break during these challenging times of the Covid 19 Pandemic. We added pre and post extension in Seville which allowed us to enjoy nature and culture.

Naturetrek having been delivering wildlife holidays worldwide for many years. We have had few holidays arranged by them which we have enjoyed very much and have always felt very comfortable and safe in their hands. The holidays are well planned with varied itineraries always with the objective of delivering good sightings of wildlife. Their flexibility of adding extension to their package holidays allows one to have a wider travel experience adding culture to a nature holiday. What we like about Naturetrek, with the difficulties caused by the Covid 19 pandemic and the cancellation of holidays, they have been amazing with holiday refunds etc. Their Zoom sessions particularly through the first lockdown kept us traveling virtually through those difficult months.

Very good experience. Lovely hotel and dining. Good tour leaders.

Have travelled with this company both in u.k.and abroad.Good quality wildlife experiences

Bird watching for the day in the Forest of Dean

He took the time for all of us to see the birds in detail, showing us in the scope. He didn’t move on until we had all seen the bird and had a chance to ask questions

This day trip to Old Moor and the Dearne Valley was led by a Naturetrek guide who was previously RSPB manager of these. reserves. His knowledge of the history of the area, creation of the reserves and strategies for developing them is unsurpassable. This together with his excellent guiding made for a wonderful day in an area I might have thought I knew well! (I know far more now and will gain more from future visits).

Brilliant and still have a personal touch!

A great day in the Forest of Dean. Dan was very knowledgable & great at getting elusive birds in his scope & ensuring that everyone who wanted one got a good view. A good variety of locations during the day. Crossbills, Siskin & haw finches were particular highlights.

Well organised with good communication, including about the change of leader.

Visited excellent places for seeing birds. Our Guides were brilliant, showed us what they could and pointed out different birds and how to tell some birds apart. Had very good room in the Hotel, staff looked after us very well, food very good.

Naturetrek personnel are always polite, considerate, efficient and ready to help. Phone is answered quickly..

Joined the Naturetrek, Realm of the Iberian Lynx tour from 28 November to 3 December 21. The 2 accommodations were in good location and provided comfortable rooms and good food. The tour leaders were excellent and extremely knowledgeable and ensured that we had the best chances to spot Lynx and other wildlife. We have used Naturetrek for a number of rips and not been disappointed.

Naturetrek staff are very helpful when booking trips and their communication with us throughout is alway excellent. We have confidence in using Naturetrek and would recommend them as a tour operator.

Samuel Levy was an excellent guide and despite windy cloudy weather found us lots of birds. In future please stress that this trip must start promptly and requires a lot of walking.. people arrived 15 minutes late and 1 person was a very slow walker so we missed the hawfinch roost which should be the highlight of this day, albeit we saw a hawfinch. This is not fair on others. Timing will obviously depend on the time of year.

Excellent guide, smooth booking process

This was a great day out visiting various locations in Norfolk.

Mike was a friendly and informative guide showing good knowledge on a variety of wildlife topics.

Day trip strolling in fits and starts along short bit of ridgeway while people who knew what they were doing looked at birds

Efficient , good range of tours, nicely produced literature
