Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

The walk was led by a very knowledgeable birder who taught us about different bird calls. We saw coast, heath, wetland, grassland and forest all in a day. The only downside for me was the shingle walking which was hard going. But I did thoroughly enjoy the day and saw a few firsts for me in the birding world.

Naturetrek caters to all tastes in multiple places around the world. They've always been flexible and responsive with us and I have recommended them several times to others.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was sure to point out all that he saw, as well as willing to listen to knowledge we had. He knew the area well and gave us a wonderful introduction to Grafham water. We will be going back again for sure.

Naturetrek seem to be able to cater to those with small and large budgets, at home as well as abroad. They have always been flexible and responsive.

After two years of covid delays my 60 year wait ( ever since as a child reading about it in Sir Peter Scott’s ‘Wildlife in Danger’ Brooke Bond picture card Album), to visit the Donana National Park on a birding holiday became a reality. A two hour flight to Seville and easy passage through the airport found us in no time travelling southwest with my fellow birders and tour guide Byron. With stops to view the abundant birds en route, we arrived at the incredible town of El Rocio. A town with a Wild West feel with sandy streets and horses rule. This isn’t just for the tourists, El Rocio is a town that has brought with it its 19th century customs and traditions. Our hotel, the Toruno, is traditional Spanish. The restaurant is across the sandy road two minutes walk away and feel like you’re walking into a frontier Wild West saloon. Large wooden barrels, wooden tables and horse hitching posts further add to the scene. Food was traditional with a choice of three starters, three mains and dessert. Alcohol and soft drinks were part of tour package. The five day at tour with Naturetrek was an adventure. Byron immersed us into a cultural, natural, scenic and exciting exploration of this fantastic National Park. The starting point was the Flamingo laden lagoon on the hotel doorstep. From here daily tours took us deeper and deeper into some areas off limits to public access. Storks, kites, bee eaters, shrikes were just some of the never ending array of the avian kind. However, for those who wanted to experience more than that, this tour delivered some fabulous vistas, beautiful town squares, wine tasting and more. Don’t take my word for it, if you can, just do it!

I found Naturetrek to be very clear and easy to correspond with. The website was straightforward enough and brochure inspiring. It felt like a personal service and I didn’t have to jump through hoops or listen to repetitive telephone music. During covid cancellations there was a no quibble refund or credit note option. I’m glad I took the credit note, it was a wonderful experience and would I do it again? Yes certainly .

Booking was very simple and efficient

It was a Nature Trek day trip to Rainham Marshes, the pre-visit information was excellent and the leader's knowledge and enthusiasm could not be faulted. Brilliant day

Very efficient and helpful.

A 2-centre wildlife holiday, focussing on the abundant spring flora and butterflies, led by two tireless and knowledgeable tour leaders. Included in the trip were visits to Otranto and Matera, both ancient, beautiful, cultural centres. The two hotels in this quiet heel of Italy, were rural, stylish and very comfortable.

This was my fifth tour with Naturetrek and I'm hoping for another five! That tells you all you need to know.

A well researched two centre trip with excellent accommodation and good food included. Expert, experienced and knowledgeable guides ensure every opportunity is taken to optimise sightings. An exceptional experience

Naturetrek go out of their way to accommodate individual needs and provide comprehensive pre tour info.

Second trip with Naturetrek to Donana National Park near Seville with two excellent and extremely knowlewdgable guides Byron and Rob.

Very professional. They clearly employ some fantastic guides.

A five day birding holiday based in the foothills of Snowdonia. A variety of habitats were explored and almost 100 bird species seen during the five days. Very knowledgeable tour leader representing Naturetrek, a very professional company.

Naturetrek run a wide variety of nature related holidays and day trips. Very well organised, provide good support, informative website and they choose experienced tour leaders.

A day in the Dart Valley with a guide exploring places we would never have discovered on our own. It was an excellent day out enjoying beautiful countryside and wildlife (although the weather could have been kinder).

Naturetrek are a very good organised tour operator. Their guide was great company and very knowledgeable, pointing out many interesting details about the local area and wildlife.
